Honore de Balzac

Bureaucracy is a giant mechanism operated by pygmies.

Manners are the hypocrisy of a nation.

If we could but paint with the hand what we see with the eye.

I've been watching 'Game of Thrones,' and I can't wait for 'Bored to Death' to come back, it's one of my faves.

My feeling for reality TV isn't ironic, guilty, or apologetic. Reality TV is one of the few remaining modes of popular entertainment in which characterization is permitted as plot.

There is no problem that is not improved by effort, and no effort that is too paltry to be worth undertaking.
