You eat all the carrots, then all the potatoes, then the meat. You won’t go away hungry, but it’s not quite satisfying. Only a biography, or autobiography, gives you the hot meal.”
    —Christopher Buckley, U.S. author. A review of three books of quotations from Newt Gingrich. “Newtie’s Greatest Hits,” The New York Times Book Review (March 12, 1995)

    from the power of the hunting pack,
    and to know that wisdom is best
    and beauty
    sheer holiness.”
    —Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
