If anybody does marry you it will be for the pleasure of hearing you talk piffle. - Harriet Vane

And what do all the great words come to in the end, but that? I love you — I am at rest with you — I have come home. - Lord Peter Wimsey to Harriet Vane, now his wife
Dorothy L. Sayers
My heart leaps up when I behold
A rainbow in the sky;
Contrariwise, my blood runs cold
When little boys go by.
For little boys as little boys,
No special hate I carry,
But now and then they grow to men,
And when they do, they marry.
No matter how they tarry,
Eventually they marry.
And, swine among the pearls,
They marry little girls.Ogden Nash
Oh I see said the Earl but my own idear is that these things are as piffle before the wind.
Daisy Ashford
Our hearing is really starting to go so we have to crank the amps up a lot more than we used to, but I don't give a f**k about hearing. As far as I'm concerned I've heard enough and the older I get the less I'm going to want to hear anyway. F**k hearing or listening to anything or anyone about anything or anyone.
Osborne,Buzz
On the contrary, it's because someone knows something about it that we can't talk about physics. It's the things that nobody knows about that we can discuss. We can talk about the weather; we can talk about social problems; we can talk about psychology; we can talk about international finance... so it's the subject that nobody knows anything about that we can all talk about!
