“The character of the logger’s admiration is betrayed by his very mode of expressing it.... He admires the log, the carcass or corpse, more than the tree.... What right have you to celebrate the virtues of the man you murdered?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“A bibulation of sports writers, a yammer of radio announcers, a guilt of umpires, an indigence of writers.”
