Famous quotes containing the words somerset and/or light:

    You know what the critics are. If you tell the truth they only say you’re cynical and it does an author no good to get a reputation for cynicism.
    —W. Somerset Maugham (1874–1965)

    Have you ever turned toward an intellectual in a time of authentic anguish and encountered his light appraisal, or evasion, of your grief? Or turned to him in a situation of light import only to be met with a heavy, superfluous solemnity?
    Margaret Anderson (1886–1973)
