Quote by Peter De Vries (1910-1993)

• We all learn by experience but some of us have to go to summer school.

• Confession is good for the soul only in the sense that a tweed coat is good for dandruff - it is a palliative rather than a remedy.

• It is the final proof of God's omnipotence that he need not exist in order to save us.

• Nostalgia isn't what it used to be.

• There are times when parenthood seems nothing but feeding the mouth that bites you.

• When I can no longer bear to think of the victims of broken homes, I begin to think of the victims of intact ones.
