In mathematics, a complex reflection group is a group acting on a finite-dimensional complex vector space, that is generated by complex reflections: non-trivial elements that fix a complex hyperplane in space pointwise. (Complex reflections are sometimes called pseudo reflections or unitary reflections or sometimes just reflections.)

—Mary McCarthy (1912–1989)
“For me, as a beginning novelist, all other living writers form a control group for whom the world is a placebo.”
