    The shelf life of the modern hardback writer is somewhere between the milk and the yoghurt.
    —John Mortimer (b. 1923)

    We’d like to fight but we fear defeat,
    We’d like to work but we’re feeling too weak,
    We’d like to be sick but we’d get the sack,
    We’d like to behave, we’d like to believe,
    We’d like to love, but we’ve lost the knack.
    —Cecil Day Lewis (1904–1972)
