It wasn't a healthy attitude, but it wasn't really a healthy world.

If you are firmly enough rooted in your masculinity, it shouldn't
bother you much to have a woman on top of you. It's a good deal more
relaxing, it's often more satisfying for both parties, and you can
see a lot more of what's going on.

Daydreaming while smoking cigars can be a fire hazard. It can be
as dangerous as drugs and booze unless you know what you're doing.
If you know what you're doing, it can be as safe as walking down the
street.

If you're patient and you wait long enough, something will usually
happen and it'll usually be something you don't like.

As a general rule of thumb, however, if you thought of New York as
a Negro talking to himself and of California as a VCR with nothing
to put in, you wouldn't be too far off the mark.

New York was the kind of place where you could hide from anything.
Possibly even yourself.

In six days the Lord created the heavens and the earth and all the
wonders therein. There are some of us who feel that He might have
taken just a little more time.

But if you're paranoid long enough, sooner or later you're gonna
be right.

The main health hazard in the world today is people who don't love
themselves.

Cats are a fairly right-wing group politically. They are lovers of
the status quo. They don't like anything that might represent change.
They hate marriages, divorces, moving days, graduations, bar mitzvahs,
bill collectors, rug shampooners, painters, plumbers, electricians,
television repairmen, out-call masseuses, Jehovah's Witnesses, and
just about everything else, most of which I agree with them about.

"I'm not afraid to die," I said. "I'm not afraid to live. I'm not
afraid to fail. I'm not afraid to succeed. I'm not afraid to fall
in love. I'm not afraid to be alone. I'm just afraid I might have
to stop talking about myself for five minutes."

We're all worm bait waiting to happen. It's what you do while you
wait that matters.

Now I have a cat. Well, that's not quite accurate. A cat and I have
each other.

Most people, of course, spend their lives caring about the wrong
things. The worry about South Africa or Nicaragua. They spend so much
time finding themselves that they lose their taxicabs. They don't
see that what kind of napkin you get at a delicatessen is a matter
of much significance in the world today.
That's why they don't get linen.

They say that death is just nature's way of telling you to slow down

True New Yorkers would stand in line only at the Carnegie Delicatessen.

When you have a cat, you assume certain responsibilities that, in
a spiritual sense, may transcend those of a marital or a business
relationship.

Cats, as a rule, don't like lawyers. They have great insight into
human character.

I rarely meddled in the cat's personal affairs and she rarely meddled
in mine. Neither of us was foolish enough to attribute human emotions
to our pets.

There are no good lawyers. There may be lady wrestlers and Catholic
