Quote by Paul Fussell (1924-2012)

• Americans are the only people in the world known to me whose status anxiety prompts them to advertise their college and university affiliations in the rear window of their automobiles.

• If you are an author and give one of your books to a member of the upper class, you must never expect him to read it.

• If I didn't have writing, I'd be running down the street hurling grenades in people's faces.

• I find nothing more depressing than optimism.
