    Asking a working writer what he thinks about critics is like asking a lamp-post what it feels about dogs.
    —Christopher Hampton (b. 1946)

    Fortunately for those who pay their court through such foibles, a fond mother, though, in pursuit of praise for her children, the most rapacious of human beings, is likewise the most credulous; her demands are exorbitant; but she will swallow any thing.
    Jane Austen (1775–1817)
