All other things, our powers, our desires, our food, are all really necessary for our existence in the first instance. But the rose is an extra. Its smell and its colour are an embellishment of life, not a condition of it. It is only goodness which gives extras.”
    —Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930)

    “The best joke-tellers are those who have the patience to wait for conversation to come around to the point where the jokes in their repertoire have application.”
