The Essential Pauline Quotes

Some words which I think illustrate best the wit and wisdom of Mrs. Pauline Fowler.

"Pride? What's that worth when you're dead and gone?"		"Once you do get a bloke, you can never get rid of him."
	"We just blunder about doing our best. If we hit the target once,  it's a miracle."
"There must be a point [to life]; otherwise, what would we all carry on for?"		"It's like what Mark says: home is the one place where they've got to let you in."
	"Remember, you only get one life. Make sure you enjoy it."
"We don't have to learn to like it or lump it. We don't have to put up with just anything. We can choose."		"You have to go a long way away, before you can look at your life."
	"Sometimes hurt's a part of life . . . Sometimes you have to take some chances."
"Sometimes I think that's all good clothes are for: weddings and funerals."		"Right, well, we'll sort this out together. A problem shared is a problem halved."
	"It's always the same, isn't it? The least deserving people in life always seem to win."
"It's just as well you came to me then, isn't it? We'll sort this out together, you'll see."		"Look, you can run away from Walford; you can run away from the family. But you can't run away from yourself."
