“I started out very quiet and I beat Turgenev. Then I trained hard and I beat de Maupassant. Ive fought two draws with Stendhal, and I think I had an edge in the last one. But nobodys going to get me in any ring with Tolstoy unless Im crazy or I keep getting better.”
—Ernest Hemingway (18991961)
“The ease with which problems are understood and solved on paper, in books and magazine articles, is never matched by the reality of the mothers experience. . . . Her childs behavior often does not follow the storybook version. Her own feelings dont match the way she has been told she ought to feel. . . . There is something wrong with either her child or her, she thinks. Either way, she accepts the blame and guilt.”
—Elaine Heffner (20th century)
“A man is but an ass
Who fights in a cuirass,”
—Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (18361911)
“Every year without knowing it I have passed the day
When the last fires will wave to me”
—William Stanley Merwin (b. 1927)
