—Alex Atkinson, British humor writer. repr. In Present Laughter, ed. Alan Coren (1982)
“Eat your meals according to the size of your bowl.”
—Chinese proverb.
“Our brains are no longer conditioned for reverence and awe. We cannot imagine a Second Coming that would not be cut down to size by the televised evening news, or a Last Judgment not subject to pages of holier-than-Thou second- guessing in The New York Review of Books.”
—John Updike (b. 1932)
