—André Breton (18961966)
“Youve no idea what a poor opinion I have of myselfand how little I deserve it.”
—Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (18361911)
“The total collapse of the public opinion polls shows that this country is in good health. A country that developed an airtight system of finding out in advance what was in peoples minds would be uninhabitable.”
—E.B. (Elwyn Brooks)
