    The time comes when our hearts sink utterly;
    When we remember Deirdre and her tale,
    And that her lips are dust.
    James Kenneth Stephens (1882–1950)

    ... if we take the universe of ‘fitting,’ countless coats ‘fit’ backs, and countless boots ‘fit’ feet, on which they are not practically fitted; countless stones ‘fit’ gaps in walls into which no one seeks to fit them actually. In the same way countless opinions ‘fit’ realities, and countless truths are valid, tho no thinker ever thinks them.
    —William James (1842–1910)

    Wealth is not without its advantages and the case to the contrary, although it has often been made, has never proved widely persuasive.
    —John Kenneth Galbraith (b. 1908)

    Comes from a fine family. So she tells me. Brother’s a priest, all that. But, you know, death, disaster, unfortunate investments. One day she’s a little princess, up on the hill. Next, she’s down there, working the bars for the best she can.
    Peter Prince, British screenwriter, and Stephen Frears. Harry (Bill Hunter)
