It is the perfect wrong time for Jeremy to do to Mirabelle what she had done to him - call him up for a quick fix - because, in a sense, she is now betrothed. Her first date with someone who treated her well obligates her to faithfulness, at least until the relationship is explored.

I used to think a wedding was a simple affair. Boy and girl meet, they fall in love, he buys a ring, she buys a dress, they say I do. I was wrong. That's getting married. A wedding is an entirely different proposition.

I can understand the drug thing. So they feel that it's more important to take the drugs than to do a good show for the people.

I believe that sex is one of the most beautiful, natural, wholesome things that money can buy.

I believe Ronald Reagan can make this country what it once was... an Arctic region covered with ice.

I couldn't see his face, because the light came in from behind him and he was in shadow, and he said, I am Picasso. And I said, Well, so what?

Mirabelle is attractive it's just that she is never the first or second girl chosen.

What is a movie star? A movie star is many things. They can be tall, short, thin, or skinny. They can be Democrats... or skinny.

His view of the world is one that keeps his blood pressure low, sweeping the cholesterol from his relaxed, freeway-sized arteries. Everyone knows he is going to live till age ninety, although the question that goes begging is, “for what?

I'm tired of wasting letters when punctuation will do, period.
Steve Martin
I understood that as much as I had resisted the outside, as much as I had constricted my life, as much as I had closed and narrowed the channels into me, there were still many takers for the quiet heart.
