Philip Roth
“This is not the position in life that I had hoped to fill. I want to be an obstetrician. Who quarrels with an obstetrician? Even the obstetrician who delivered Bugsy Siegel goes to bed at night with a clear conscience.”
Philip Roth, The Anatomy Lesson

C.L.R. James
“Once every year for four days the tens of thousands of Athenian citizens sat in the open air on the stone seats at the side of the Acropolis and from sunrise to sunset watched the plays of the competing dramatists. All that we have to correspond is a Test match. The manner in which the drama arrived will tell us something valuable about Test matches and (for the moment let us whisper it) the way Test matches arrived may start a trail into that vexed question: the origin of Greek drama. There are so many that another wouldn't hurt.”
C. L. R. James

Boris Akunin
“All in all, Varya felt much the same as she had in the restaurant of the Hotel Royale when the men had caught the scent of blood and run wild, entirely forgetting that she even existed - yet another proof that by his very nature man was closer to the animal world than woman, that the feral principle was more pronounced in man, and therefore the true variety of Homo Sapiens was indeed woman, the more advanced, subtle and complex being.”
Boris Akunin, The Turkish Gambit

Ken Dodd
“Freud said that laughter is the outward expression of the psyche. The trouble with Freud is that he never had to play first house, Saturday night, Glasgow Empire.”
Ken Dodd

Georgia   Scott
“Before there is science, there are stories to explain the world. They make it happier somehow.”
Georgia Scott, American Girl: Memories That Made Me
