Quote by Cyril Connolly (1903-1974)

• Always be nice to those younger than you, because they are the ones who will be writing about you.

• Better to write for yourself and have no public, than to write for the public and have no self.

• The civilization of one epoch becomes the manure of the next.

• As repressed sadists are supposed to become policemen or butchers so those with irrational fear of life become publishers.

• Our memories are card indexes consulted, and then put back in disorder by authorities whom we do not control.

• There are many who dare not kill themselves for fear of what the neighbors will say.
