    What have I done for you,
    England, my England?
    What is there I would not do,
    England, my own?
    —William Ernest Henley (1849–1903)

    Dates are stupidly annoying—what we want is not dates but taste;Myet we are uncomfortable without them.
    —Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)

    Life is a game in which the rules are constantly changing; nothing spoils a game more than those who take it seriously. Adultery? Phooey! You should never subjugate yourself to another nor seek the subjugation of someone else to yourself. If you follow that Crispian principle you will be able to say “Phooey,” too, instead of reaching for your gun when you fancy yourself betrayed.
    Quentin Crisp (b. 1908)

    Nowadays the host does not admit you to his hearth, but has got the mason to build one for yourself somewhere in his alley, and hospitality is the art of keeping you at the greatest distance. There is as much secrecy about the cooking as if he had a design to poison you.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
