Bedroom Quote by Gerald Morris
“Don't make yourself so special," the dwarf said with a snort. "As if getting lost was some trick that only women knew. I've known men who could get lost in their own bedrooms. The only difference is that men with no sense of direction don't brag about it, the way women do.”

Sure, I could juggle three or four balls and use two hands, and that would be very impressive, but then what would I do after that? Five balls?…” quote by Gerald Morris](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/7bd/gerald-morris-23609_art_of-course-it-s-juggling-the-man-in-motle_387237.jpg)
