“The inconveniences and horrors of the pox are perfectly well known to every one; but still the disease flourishes and spreads. Several million people were killed in a recent war and half the world ruined; but we all busily go on in courses that make another event of the same sort inevitable. Experientia docet? Experientia doesn’t.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
“Show business is really 90 per cent luck and 10 per cent being able to handle it when it gets offered to you.”
—Tommy Steele (b. 1936)
