    “The rarest of all things in American life is charm. We spend billions every year manufacturing fake charm that goes under the heading of “public relations.” Without it, America would be grim indeed.”

    “That book is good
    Which puts me in a working mood.
    Unless to Thought be added Will
    Apollo is an imbecile.”
