    “Our American professors like their literature clear and cold and pure and very dead.”
    —Sinclair Lewis (1885–1951)

    “...I’m not money hungry.... People who are rich want to be richer, but what’s the difference? You can’t take it with you. The toys get different, that’s all. The rich guys buy a football team, the poor guys buy a football. It’s all relative.”
    —Martina Navratilova (b. 1956)
