    —C. Northcote Parkinson (1909–1993)

    “Tragedy, as you know, is always a fait accompli, whereas terror always has to do with anticipation, with man’s recognition of his own negative potential—with his sense of what he is capable of.”
    —Joseph Brodsky (b. 1940)

    “Art is the imposing of a pattern on experience, and our aesthetic enjoyment is recognition of the pattern.”
