Cyril Connolly
  • It is only in the country that we can get to know a person or a book.

  • Classical and romantic: private language of a family quarrel, a dead dispute over the distribution of emphasis between man and nature.

  • Today the function of the artist is to bring imagination to science and science to imagination, where they meet, in the myth.

  • The secret of success is to be in harmony with existence, to be always calm to let each wave of life wash us a little farther up the shore.

  • In the sex war, thoughtlessness is the weapon of the male, vindictiveness of the female.
