I never met a piece of chocolate I didn't like.

I never pray before meals -- my mom's a good cook.

I never said all Democrats were saloonkeepers;
what I said was all saloonkeepers were Democrats.

I never saw a purple cow
I never hope to see one
But I can tell you anyhow
I'd rather see than be one.
                -- Gellett Burgess

I've never seen a purple cow
I never hope to see one
But from the milk we're getting now
There certainly must be one
                -- Odgen Nash

Ah, yes, I wrote "The Purple Cow"
I'm sorry now I wrote it
But I can tell you anyhow
I'll kill you if you quote it.
                -- Gellett Burgess, many years later

I never take work home with me; I always leave it in some bar along the way.

I never vote for anyone.  I always vote against.
                -- W.C. Fields

I often quote myself; it adds spice to my conversation.
                -- G.B. Shaw

I only know what I read in the papers.
                -- Will Rogers

I opened the drawer of my little desk and a single letter fell out, a
letter from my mother, written in pencil, one of her last, with unfinished
words and an implicit sense of her departure.  It's so curious: one can
resist tears and "behave" very well in the hardest hours of grief.  But
then someone makes you a friendly sign behind a window... or one notices
that a flower that was in bud only yesterday has suddenly blossomed... or
a letter slips from a drawer... and everything collapses.
                -- Letters From Colette

I owe, I owe,
It's off to work I go...
