    Well, sweet buttercup? Now that I’m here and see what’s to be had, I shall dally in the valley, and believe me I can dally.
    A. Edward Sullivan, U.S. screenwriter. Professor Quail (W.C. Fields)

    The return of the asymmetrical Saturday was one of those small events that were interior, local, almost civic and which, in tranquil lives and closed societies, create a sort of national bond and become the favorite theme of conversation, of jokes and of stories exaggerated with pleasure: it would have been a ready- made seed for a legendary cycle, had any of us leanings toward the epic.
    Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
