Famous quotes containing the word connolly:
“When writers meet they are truculent, indifferent, or over-polite. Then comes the inevitable moment. A shows B that he has read something of B’s. Will B show A? If not, then A hates B, if yes, then all is well. The only other way for writers to meet is to share a quick pee over a common lamp-post.”
—Cyril Connolly (1903–1974)
“We are all serving a life-sentence in the dungeon of self.”
—Cyril Connolly (1903–1974)
“When we have ceased to love the stench of the human animal, either in others or in ourselves, then are we condemned to misery, and clear thinking can begin.”
—Cyril Connolly (1903–1974)
