“The most delightful pleasures cloy without variety”
Publilius Syrus
“Age cannot wither her, nor custom stale Her infinite variety, other women cloy”
William Shakespeare
“To call them emotional comedies sounds cloying. Like Billy Wilder said, 'You want to make them laugh and you want to make them cry,' and it's very hard to do so. If you ground it in reality, you get a more honest comedy. You don't have to reach for jokes to manufacture situations as much. And I think it's a type of film I do best.”
Charles Shyer
“No pleasure endures unseasoned by variety”
“When our old Pleasures die, Some new One still is nigh; Oh! fair Variety!”
Nicholas Rowe
“The great source of pleasure is variety”
Samuel Johnson
“How can one conceive of a one-party system in a country that has over two hundred varieties of cheese?”
Charles de Gaulle
