Private Copying

Famous quotes containing the words private and/or copying:

“Old politicians, like old actors, revive in the limelight. The vacancy which afflicts them in private momentarily lifts when, once more, they feel the eyes of an audience upon them. Their old passion for holding the centre of the stage guides their uncertain footsteps to where the footlights shine, and summons up a wintry smile when the curtain rises.”
—Malcolm Muggeridge (1903–1990)

“The young always have the same problem—how to rebel and conform at the same time. They have now solved this by defying their parents and copying one another.”
—Quentin Crisp (b. 1908)
