“Other than his ex-wife and despite appearances with a series of cultivated blondes, Edward de Bono has never publicly aligned himself with a woman. 'I’m looking for a fat, cross-eyed hunchback,' he explains, stifling a giggle. 'A prosthetic hump would do.' His delight evaporates when asked about his three grandchildren. 'Am I a doting grandfather?' He pauses. 'I’m a … something grandfather, yes.' The fact that De Bono remains unperturbed by this lack betrays an emotionally austere childhood, and his passions for play, toys, and bad jokes tell of the same deprivation.” PlayFactsPassionThreeWifeChildhoodJokesCrossesRemainsSeriesDelightAppearanceFatsDespiteBetrayToysGrandfatherPausesGrandchildrenExesDeprivationGiggleStiflingEx WifeProstheticsBad JokesHis Ex Author:Antonella Gambotto-Burke

“Being married to those sleepy-souled women is just like playing at cards for nothing: no passion is excited and the time is filled up. I do not, however, envy a fellow one of those honeysuckle wives for my part, as they are but creepers at best and commonly destroy the tree they so tenderly cling about.” PassionWifeTreeMarriedFellowsFilledExcitedEnvyCardsBeing MarriedSleepyFilled UpCreepers Book:The Life of Samuel Johnson, LL.
