“Never yield to that temptation, which, to most young men, is very strong, of exposing other people’s weaknesses and infirmities, for the sake either of diverting the company, or of showing your own superiority.

—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
“Oh! it offends me to the soul to hear a robustious periwig-pated fellow, tear a passion to tatters, to very rags, to split the ears of the groundlings.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“All those writers who write about their childhood! Gentle God, if I wrote about mine you wouldn’t sit in the same room with me.”
—Dorothy Parker (1893–1967)
