The secret of it is to read what you've got in front of you. Don't, if you suspect that something has a double meaning, don't pause. Don't put on a leery vocal expression if you know what I mean on radio. Don't sort of do anything other than read it. (Humphrey Lyttelton)

All successful newpapers are ceaselessly querulous and bellicose. They never defend anyone or anything if they can help it if the job is forced upon them, they tackle it by denouncing someone or something else.

H. L. Mencken

Milan Kundera

The book of your revolution sits in the pit of your belly, young Indian. Crap it out, and read.Instead of which, they're all sitting in front of color TVs and watching cricket and shampoo advertisements.

Sometimes I wonder if we shall ever grow up in our politics and say definite things which mean something, or whether we shall always go on using generalities to which everyone can subscribe, and which mean very little.
