He cannot distinguish fiction from fact, and belongs in the same category as the people who send cheques to radio stations for the relief of suffering heroines in soap operas.”
—Northrop Frye (b. 1912)

“There are people who laugh to show their fine teeth; and there are those who cry to show their good hearts.”
