A moment later, I caught my breath, but I didn't say anything.

I guess we'd be living in a boring, perfect world if everybody wished everybody else well.
Humor is also a way of saying something serious.
It is a good rule in life never to apologize. The right sort of people do not want apologies, and the wrong sort take a mean advantage of them.
Beginning today, treat everyone you meet as if they were going to be dead by midnight. Extend them all the care, kindness and understanding you can muster. Your life will never be the same again.
Wit makes its own welcome, and levels all distinctions. No dignity, no learning, no force of character, can make any stand against good wit.
