External Affairs

Famous quotes containing the words external and/or affairs:

    No real “vital” character in fiction is altogether a conscious construction of the author. On the contrary, it may be a sort of parasitic growth upon the author’s personality, developing by internal necessity as much as by external addition.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    These things do not happen by chance. There is much less luck in public affairs than some suppose.
    Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)
