Possibly the best thing about the whole experience is that Kang and I are now really good friends. It's as much of a pleasure and privilege to know her as a person as it is to translate her work.

Coming on top of a massive income investment boom, it's all been just a bit too much of a good thing. — Nigel Lawson
A lot of people worry much too much about what their children are reading... If a child picks up a book and reads something she has a question about, if she can go to her parents, great.

If something makes them feel uncomfortable they will put it down. — Judy Blume
As far as pleasures, you've got to have limits. You shouldn't have too much of good things, so you'll always have a desire for more and you won't get bored. — Compay Segundo
One good thing that comes from living the nomadic life demanded by an expedition is that one sheds the fake skin donned from living too closely among society. For those of us who live for the freedom of such a lifestyle, that skin is dry and itchy and ill fitting. From my observances, that skin is much like a callus caused by the pure irritation of being forced to spend so much time with one's fellow man. Thank God I am spared such nonsense. — Karen Hawkins
Commenting on playoffs to determine a national champion: I'm not in favor of 15 games either. I think that's way too much football.

It's just been a special feeling all year long. — LaVell Edwards
If we could only make our hands move as actively as our tongues, what wonders we could accomplish! Almost everyone loves to hear his own voice. It is so easy, too!

Instead of criticism by speech, to show someone a better way to do a thing would be of much greater value. — John Wanamaker
