I like Wagner's music better than anybody's. It is so loud that one can talk the whole time without other people hearing what one says. (Oscar Wilde)

This is going to sound horrible, but I got 12 million votes doing what I did. View quote
Clay Aiken
Oh, I am heartily tired of hearing about what Lee is going to do. Some of you always seem to think he is suddenly going to turn a double somersault, and land in our rear and on both of our flanks at the same time. Go back to your command, and try to think what we are going to do ourselves, instead of what Lee is going to do. View quote

It is in this matter that I fall foul of so many American writers on writing; they seem to think that writing is a confidence game by means of which the author cajoles a restless, dull-witted, shallow audience into hearing his point of view. Such an attitude is base, and can only beget base prose. View quote
Robertson Davies
