“It is marvelous indeed to watch on television the rings of Saturn close; and to speculate on what we may yet find at galaxy’s edge. But in the process, we have lost the human element; not to mention the high hope of those quaint days when flight would create “one world.” Instead of one world, we have “star wars,” and a future in which dumb dented human toys will drift mindlessly about the cosmos long after our small planet’s dead.”
—Gore Vidal (b. 1925)
“In Washington, the first thing people tell you is what their job is. In Los Angeles you learn their star sign. In Houston you’re told how rich they are. And in New York they tell you what their rent is.”
—Simon Hoggart (b. 1946)
“You fade—as if the last of days
Were fading and all wars were done.”
—Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869–1935)
“The creative writer is usually captive to his next book.”
—Fannie Hurst (1889–1968)
“The evil that men do lives after them;
The good is oft interred with their bones.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
