Robert Benchley
I can’t quite define my aversion to asking questions of strangers. From snatches of family battles which I have heard drifting up from railway stations and street corners, I gather that there are a great many men who share my dislike for it, as well as an equal number of women who ... believe it to be the solution to most of this world’s problems.
Benchley quotes
Anyone can do any amount of work provided it isn't the work he is supposed to be doing at the moment.
Benchley
Drawing on my fine command of the English language, I said nothing.




Benchley Robert quotes
There is no such place as Budapest. Perhaps you are thinking of Bucharest, and there is no such place as Bucharest, either.
