The humanities would be called upon to choose a wallpaper for the crypt, as the end drew near.”

“All a writer has to do to get a woman is to say he's a writer. It's an aphrodisiac.”

“There are evils that have the ability to survive identification and go on for ever... money, for instance, or war.”
