I can make you the best dress you have ever seen.
I reckon you could make a frock for a monkey.
I don’t know why they fear you so. You’re only a woman.
You can’t live on hate and expect to be happy.
The truth is never as pretty as a lie.
There are some things you should know and some things you shouldn’t.
They’re all the same, they’re just dressed differently.
Some people just need killing.
The devil is in the detail.
You can’t change what’s done, you can only move on.
A little bit of bad can be a lot of good.
Nothing’s perfect, nothing’s permanent, and nothing’s predictable.
