"I am sitting in the smallest room of my house. I have your review before me. In a moment it shall be behind me."

Source : Quoted in Nicholas Slonimsky, Lexicon of Musical Invective: Critical Assaults on Composers Since Beethoven's Time (1953). Cassell's Humorous Quotations suggests that an earlier version of this jab appeared in a letter by the Fourth Earl of Sandwich in 1785, but no such anecdote is found in the book said to be the source.

And beyond knowledge lies what we should be seeking: wisdom.”
