Machado de Assis
“A ridiculous old age is perhaps the saddest and ultimate surprise human nature may have in store.”
Machado de Assis, The Posthumous Memoirs of Brás Cubas

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

Arthur Conan Doyle
“The vegetable kingdom still remains one of the few which Napoleon has not yet conquered.”
Arthur Conan Doyle, Uncle Bernac

“A story given in Lillian Hellman's Scoundrel Time.

While attending the funeral of Hollywood producer Harry Cohn with a large number of mourners a friend said to George Jessel - I never saw such a mob at a funeral.

Jessel replied - Same old story: you give 'em what they want and they'll fill the theater.”
George Jessel

“As she watched, one evening, he seated himself at dinner and said: 'Madame, you look absolutely exquisite tonight.'

'Thank you.' She passed the corn.”
Ray Bradbury, A Literary Encounter, in We'll Always Have Paris
