Address

Nothing succeeds like address.
- Fran Lebowitz

Most of us can read the writing on the wall; we just assume it's addressed to someone else.
- Ivern Ball

A man without an address is a vagabond; a man with two addresses is a libertine.
- George Bernard Shaw, 1856 - 1950

There's nothing that makes you so aware of the improvisation of human existence as a song unfinished. Or an old address book.
- Carson McCullers, 1917-1967

In an expanding universe, time is on the side of the outcast. Those who once inhabited the suburbs of human contempt find that without changing their address they eventually live in the metropolis.
- Quentin Crisp, 1908 - 1999

A good many young writers make the mistake of enclosing a stamped, self-addressed envelope, big enough for the manuscript to come back in. This is too much of a temptation to the editor.
- Ring Lardner, 1885 - 1933
