“The Unseasonable man is one who will go up to a busy person, and open his heart to him. He will serenade his mistress when she has a fever. He will address himself to a man who has been cast in a surety-suit, and request him to become his security. He will come to give evidence when the trial is over.”

“Our relationship was based almost always on him calling up and asking, 'Is this a good deal?,' I’m not in his business, and I wasn’t trying to be. I was just a guy who admired him a lot and was flattered he wanted my advice.
I buy my clothes at J. Crew online, I’m a very casual guy.
When I go to see Iron Man 3, I’m not as enthralled as I was when I saw The Bridge on the River Kwai
I don’t agree that the best giving is anonymous. We should be examples to our friends and communities. I should be an example to young, gay kids
