“I come from a long line of miserable people.”
Arlene Schindler

“Dinner was served on mismatched plates with paper napkins and silverware that looked like it had been stolen from a school cafeteria. The spaghetti was from a box that was still poking out of the garbage pail, the sauce from a jar that was sitting beside the sink. I got the definite impression that he chose to make dinner because he couldn't afford to take me out.”
Arlene Schindler, The Last Place She'd Look

“any dreary household task could be made a bit more tolerable if you pair it with a glass of wine.  Paired with a few glasses of wine, all household tasks become optional. ”
Arlene Schindler, Moms are Nuts

H. Jackson Brown Jr.

“But I don't want comfort. I want God, I want poetry, I want real danger, I want freedom, I want goodness. I want sin.”
Aldous Huxley, Brave New World
