    “If the Christ were content with humble toilers for disciples, that wasn’t good enough for our Bert. He wanted dukes’ half sisters and belted earls wiping his feet with their hair; grand apotheosis of the snob, to humiliate the objects of his own awe by making them venerate him.”
    —Angela Carter (1940–1992)

    “I do not object to people looking at their watches when I am speaking. But I strongly object when they start shaking them to make certain they are still going.”
    —William Norman, 1st Baron Of Ulverston Birkett (1883–1962)

    “By deafness one gains in one respect more than one loses; one misses more nonsense than sense.”
