    —Voltaire [François Marie Arouet] (1694–1778)

    “Mad about the boy,
    I know it’s stupid to be mad about the boy,
    I’m so ashamed of it
    But must admit
    The sleepless nights I’ve had about the boy.
    On the Silver Screen
    He melts my foolish heart in every single scene.”
    —Noël Coward (1899–1973)
