    —Dorothy Allison (b. 1949)

That he would be successful in an original way, or that he would go to the dogs in an original way, seemed equally probable. The only absolute certainty about him was that he would not stand still in the circumstances amid which he was born.”
    —Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)

    “A man who is a politician at forty is a statesman at three score and ten. It is at this age, when he would be too old to be a clerk or a gardener or a police-court magistrate, that he is ripe to govern a country.”
    —W. Somerset Maugham (1874–1965)
