“To minor authors is left the ornamentation of the commonplace: these do not bother about any reinventing of the world; they merely try to squeeze the best they can out of a given order of things, out of traditional patterns of fiction.”

“As many as the shells that are on the shore, so many are
the pains of love; the darts that wound are steeped in
much poison.”
