—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
“I think the ideal situation for a family is to be completely incestuous.”
—William Burroughs (b. 1914)
“Our family talked a lot at table, and only two subjects were taboo: politics and personal troubles. The first was sternly avoided because Father ran a nonpartisan daily in a small town, with some success, and did not wish to express his own opinions in public, even when in private.”
—M.F.K. Fisher (19081992)
