Cyril Connolly quotes
"Better to write for yourself and have no public, than to write for the public and have no self."
"As repressed sadists are supposed to become policemen or butchers so those with irrational fear of life become publishers."
"The civilization of one epoch becomes the manure of the next."
"There are many who dare not kill themselves for fear of what the neighbors will say."
"What grape to keep its place in the sun, taught our ancestors to make wine?"
"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."
"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."
"Literature is the art of writing something that will be read twice journalism what will be grasped at once."
