Always the voice speaks from gallery or pit, the terrible voice which detaches itself in every English crowd, full of caustic wit, full of irony or, maybe, approval.”
—Mary Heaton Vorse (1874–1966)

“Alcohol is barren. The words a man speaks in the night of drunkenness fade like the darkness itself at the coming of day.”
