Behind every successful woman, there's a big prick.

Marty, my mother used to say "Never get greedy with God." I think what she meant was "Don't dare ask for more if you already have what you need."

The Chinese had a saying that had been in her mind for a while, troubling her: Society prepares the crime; the criminal only commits it.
