Why, before, he looked like the orneriest old rip that ever was; but now, when he’d take off his new white beaver and make a bow and do a smile, he looked that grand and good and pious that you’d say he had walked right out of the ark, and maybe was old Leviticus himself.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
“There are lots of things that you can brush under the carpet about yourself until you’re faced with somebody whose needs won’t be put off.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
