—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
“A dwarf who brings a standard along with him to measure his own size—take my word, is a dwarf in more articles than one.”

“Personal columnists ... are jackals and no jackal has been known to live on grass once he had learned about meat—no matter who killed the meat for him.”
—Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)
