“Most of our platitudes notwithstanding, self-deception remains the most difficult deception. The tricks that work on others count for nothing in that very well-lit back alley where one keeps assignations with oneself: no winning smiles will do here, no prettily drawn lists of good intentions.”
—Joan Didion (b. 1934)
“If I were asked for a one line answer to the question “What makes a woman good in bed?” I would say, “A man who is good in bed.””
—Bob Guccione (b. 1930)
