[W]e must have a pie. Stress cannot exist in the presence of a pie…. It casts out stress as the heat of the hand repels quicksilver…. Keep you your precious vapors, your fantods, your anxiety. Give me a pie. Give me a pie anyday. – David Mamet, Boston Marriage
Never bear more than one kind of trouble at a time. Some people bear three — all they have had, all they have now, and all they expect to have. – Edward Everett Hale
