—Kwame Nkrumah (1900–1972)
“Pause awhile,
And let my counsel sway you in this case.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Critics generally come to be critics not by reason of their fitness for this, but of their unfitness for anything else. Books should be tried by a judge and jury as though they were a crime, and counsel should be heard on both sides.”
