    “It’s fairly obvious that American education is a cultural flop. Americans are not a well-educated people culturally, and their vocational education often has to be learned all over again after they leave school and college. On the other hand, they have open quick minds and if their education has little sharp positive value, it has not the stultifying effects of a more rigid training.”
    —Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)

    “Maxim de Winter: Tell me, is Mrs. Van Hopper a friend of yours or just a relation?
    Mrs. de Winter: No, she’s my employer. I’m what’s known as a paid companion.
    Maxim de Winter: I didn’t know that companionship could be bought.”
    —Robert E. Sherwood (1896–1955)

    “Cuchulain stirred,
    Stared on the horses of the sea, and heard
    The cars of battle and his own name cried;
    And fought with the invulnerable tide.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
