Trivia
- Upon seeing a review in which someone said that Martha Soukup was one of the most discussed authors, friend Neil Gaiman wrote a poem for her, in which the entire world (and a few beings in outer space) talk of nothing but Martha Soukup: "It's Martha this and Martha that and Martha Soukup said, and if you cannot talk of Martha, then you might as well be dead.", which he read at his "Live at the Aladdin" show. The poem can be found in Gaiman's introduction to her collection "The Arbitrary Placement of Walls."

Famous quotes containing the word trivia:
“Pop artists deal with the lowly trivia of possessions and equipment that the present generation is lugging along with it on its safari into the future.”
—J.G. (James Graham)
“The most refined skills of color printing, the intricate techniques of wide-angle photography, provide us pictures of trivia bigger and more real than life. We forget that we see trivia and notice only that the reproduction is so good. Man fulfils his dream and by photographic magic produces a precise image of the Grand Canyon. The result is not that he adores nature or beauty the more. Instead he adores his camera—and himself.”
—Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)
