Pleasure Quotes
You can look at my books and not find particular joy on every page because, of course, what you want to write about is the difficulty of the human experience.

My parents both had Oxford degrees, they read important books, spoke foreign languages, drank real coffee and went to museums for pleasure. People like that don't have fat kids: they were cut out to be winners and winners don't have children who are overweight.
