    The inevitability of gradualness cannot fail to be appreciated.
    Sidney Webb (Lord Passfield, Or Baron Pass (1859–1947)

    Our family talked a lot at table, and only two subjects were taboo: politics and personal troubles. The first was sternly avoided because Father ran a nonpartisan daily in a small town, with some success, and did not wish to express his own opinions in public, even when in private.
    —M.F.K. Fisher (1908–1992)
