—Ann Douglas (b. 1942)
“Whether elected or appointed
He considers himself the Lords annointed,
And indeed the ointment lingers on him
So thick you cant get your fingers on him.”
—Ogden Nash (19021971)
“They who feel cannot keep their minds in the equilibrium of a pair of scales: fear and hope have no equiponderant weights.”
