    “The true colour of life is the colour of the body, the colour of the covered red, the implicit and not explicit red of the living heart and the pulses. It is the modest colour of the unpublished blood.”
    —Alice Meynell (1847–1922)

    “I think “taste” is a social concept and not an artistic one. I’m willing to show good taste, if I can, in somebody else’s living room, but our reading life is too short for a writer to be in any way polite. Since his words enter into another’s brain in silence and intimacy, he should be as honest and explicit as we are with ourselves.”
    —John Updike (b. 1932)

    “My stardust melody, the memory of love’s refrain.”
    —Mitchell Parish (1901–1993)
