Famous quotes containing the words harry and/or levin:

    Money certainly brings out the best in you, doesn’t it?
    Mark Hanna, and Nathan Hertz. Harry Archer (William Hudson)

    If tragedy elicits our compassion, comedy appeals to our self-interest. The former confronts life’s failures with noble fortitude, the latter seeks to circumvent them with shrewd nonchalance. The one leaves us momentarily in a mood of resignation, the other in a condition of euphoria.
    —Harry Levin (b. 1912)
