There are times when you circle around and times when you go directly forward. This is neither of those times. There is soap in the soap dish. Soap what? When someone tells you that they don't want to hear your explanations it explains everything. Everyone agrees it's time, but time for what? Once your toilet is clogged you know the true meaning of—well, everything. How do you prove it's you if they're equally determined not to believe you? John had six apples, Mary had four, together they had ten apples: there is absolutely no mystery about it. I've learned so much contemplating two empty slippers on a section of worn carpet. I have a cat; so do a lot of people. If someone understands me it can only mean I must have been lying through my teeth. Now and then a sudden sense of something comes over me. People have sex for one of four reasons. When it rains I am one of those women you see on the street with or without an umbrella. There is nothing you can say out loud that you can't say silently.
—from The Proverbs
