"It's also not fair at all that stupidity has gotten you this far. That's another creature you've killed simply by having no brains, which makes anyone with brains feel as if it isn't worth the headache of having them."

-Tamsyn Muir, Princess Floralinda and the Forty-Flight Tower

"If one does nothing but think of someone, it takes up all the time you could use to do something about them. I wish nobody thought of me, but did a lot for me instead. It's just like someone else going to the sea-side when you're not, and sending a card back saying they're thinking of you; it's worse than if they weren't thinking of you at all, and now you have a horrid card that you have to be grateful for. And I have decided that I don't like being grateful —at— all ."
