A good memory is one trained to forget the trivial.Cheese is milk's leap toward immortality.For most men life is a search for the proper manila envelope in which to get themselves filed.I think we must quote whenever we feel that the allusion is interesting or helpful or amusing.Mr. Faulkner, of course, is interested in making your mind rather than your flesh creep. The adjective is the banana peel of the parts of speech.There are two kinds of writers; the great ones who can give you truths, and the lessor ones, who can only give you themselves.To divide one's life by years is of course to tumble into a trap set by our own arithmetic. The calendar consents to carry on its dull wall-existence by the arbitrary timetables we have drawn up in consultation with those permanent commuters, Earth and Sun. But we, unlike trees, need grow no annual rings.When you reread a classic, you do not see more in the book than you did before; you see more in you than there was before. |
