    “It is well within the order of things

    But the true male never yet walked
    Who liked to listen when his mate talked.”
    —Anna Wickham (1884–1947)

    “Pleasure cannot be shared; like Pain, it can only be experienced or inflicted, and when we give pleasure to our Lovers or bestow Charity upon the Needy, we do so, not to gratify the object of our Benevolence, but only ourselves. For the Truth is that we are kind for the same reason as we are cruel, in order that we may enhance the sense of our own Power.”
    —Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)

    “If you are willing to inconvenience yourself in the name of discipline, the battle is half over. Leave Grandma’s early if the children are acting impossible. Depart the ballpark in the sixth inning if you’ve warned the kids and their behavior is still poor. If we do something like this once, our kids will remember it for a long time.”
    —Fred G. Gosman (20th century)

    “One difference between Nazi and Soviet camps was that in the latter dying was a slower process.”
    —Terrence Des Pres (1939–1987)

    “We’re having a heat wave, a tropical heat wave.”
    —Irving Berlin (1888–1989)

    “How much atonement is enough? The bombing must be allowed as at least part-payment: those of our young people who are concerned about the moral problem posed by the Allied air offensive should at least consider the moral problem that would have been posed if the German civilian population had not suffered at all.”
    —Clive James (b. 1939)
