�The worst cynicism: a belief in luck.�
- Joyce Carol Oates (b. 1938), American author: �Do What You Will�, 1970.
�Poor little men, poor little cocks! As soon as they�re old enough, they swell their plumage to be conquerors� If only they knew that it�s enough to be just a little bit wounded and sad in order to obtain everything without fighting for it.�
- Jean Anouilh (1910 � 1987), French playwright: Araminthe, in �C�cile�, 1951.
�Every woman is like a timezone. She is a nocturnal fragment of your journey. She brings you unflaggingly closer to the next night.�
- Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929), French semiologist: �Cool Memories�, 1987, translated 1990.
�All dames are alike. They reach down your throat so they can grab your heart, they pull it out, they throw it on the floor and they step on it with their high heels. They spit on it. They shove it in the oven and they cook the shit out of it. Then they slice it into little pieces, slam it on a hunk of toast and serve it to you. And they expect you to say: thanks honey, it�s delicious.�
- Steve Martin (b. 1945), American comedian and screenwriter: Rigby Reardon (Martin) in �Dead Men Don�t Wear Plaid� (film, screenplay by George Gipe, Carl Reiner and Steve Martin. Directed by Carl Reiner), 1982.
