SPACE FOR QUOTEA brilliant collection of acerbic, wisecracking and hilarious essays from New York legend and satirist, Fran Lebowitz.In these essays, Fran Lebowitz turns her trademark caustic wit to the vicissitudes of life - from children ('rarely in the position to lend one a truly interesting sum of money') to landlords ('it is the solemn duty of every landlord to maintain an adequate supply of roaches').

I read and smoke a bit more').'Think before you speak. Read before you think.''All God's children are not beautiful.

The opposite of talking is waiting.
