“Do you believe in destiny? I don’t, especially when good things happen to people I hate. Then again, when good things happen to people I love, I usually end up hating them for their success in the long run anyway. So maybe that’s destiny.”
Tyler Stoddard Smith, Whore Stories: A Revealing History of the World's Oldest Profession

“kids keep having sex in those little “Smart” cars—I’ve seen it myself—and I think it spells future spinal trouble.”
Tyler Stoddard Smith, Whore Stories: A Revealing History of the World's Oldest Profession

“All who joy would win
Must share it -- Happiness was born a twin.”
George Gordon Byron, Don Juan
