A Poet’s Hope: To Be,Like Some Valley Cheese,Local, But Prized Elsewhere.
- W. H. Auden
One Cannot Review A Bad Book Without Showing Off.
Murder Is Unique In That It Abolishes The Party It Injures, So That Society Has To Take The Place Of The Victim And On His Behalf Demand Atonement Or Grant Forgiveness; It Is The One Crime In Which Society Has A Direct Interest.
Some Books Are Undeservedly Forgotten; None Are Undeservedly Remembered.
Among Those Whom I Like Or Admire, I Can Find No Common Denominator, But Among Those Whom I Love, I Can: All Of Them Make Me Laugh.
No Opera Plot Can Be Sensible, For People Do Not Sing When They Are Feeling Sensible.
