    Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    Never burn bridges. Today’s junior prick, tomorrow’s senior partner.
    Kevin Wade, U.S. screenwriter, and Mike Nichols. Katharine Parker (Sigourney Weaver)

    In entertainment value, the Democratic clambake usually lays it over the Republican conclave like ice cream over parsnips.
