"A pretty girl is better than a plain one / A leg is better than an arm / A bedroom is better than a living room / An arrival is better that a departure / A birth is better than a death / A chase is better than a chat / A dog is better than a landscape / A kitten is better than a dog / A baby is better than a kitten / A kiss is better than a baby / A pratfall is better than anything." 

 (Preston Sturges, nato Edmund Preston Biden, sceneggiatore e regista; Chicago, 29 agosto 1898 – New York, 6 agosto 1959)
