—Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)

“It’s the generally accepted privilege of theologians to stretch the heavens, that is the Scriptures, like tanners with a hide.”

“Kasper Gutman: You’re a closemouthed man?
Sam Spade: Un, un. I like to talk.
Gutman: Better and better. I distrust a closemouthed man. He generally picks the wrong time to talk and says the wrong things. Talking is something you can’t do judiciously unless you keep in practice.”
—John Huston (1906–1987)
