—Gerald Early (b. 1952)
“The rarest of all things in American life is charm. We spend billions every year manufacturing fake charm that goes under the heading of “public relations.” Without it, America would be grim indeed.”
—Anita Loos (1888–1981)
“‘Tis well enough for a servant to be bred at an University. But the education is a little too pedantic for a gentleman.”
