Simon Gray quotes:

Philosophers have a long tradition of marrying stupid women, from Socrates on. They think it clever.

Extra-marital sex is as overrated as pre-marital sex. And marital sex, come to think of it.

I'm fanatical about sport: there seems to me something almost religious about the fact that human beings can organise play, the spirit of play.

In my experience, the worst thing you can do to an important problem is to discuss it.
