I never met anyone who didn't have a very smart child. What happens to these children, you wonder, when they reach adulthood?

You can't go around hoping that most people have sterling moral characters. The most you can hope for is that people will pretend that they do.

Anti-smoking sentiment has replaced middle-class morality entirely. The smoker has taken the place of the homosexual. Today you hear people say things about smokers that used to be said about homosexuals - they pollute the environment you don't want them around your children.

Great people talk about ideas, average people talk about things, and small people talk about wine.

Writing pornography is deadly, nothing duller. I mean a toll-taker has a more exciting life than a pornographer.

If you read a lot, nothing is as great as you've imagined. Venice is - Venice is better.

I love being in love. I don't think anything compares with it, though I consider it very disruptive.
Fran Lebowitz
This idea that people have to love and understand each other is absurd. It's not human nature.

When we were young, we knew things. We knew basic history, even as it related to fashion. Now, when something reappears, an 18 year old has no clue that it's a revival.
