“There is another peculiar satisfaction in really hearing someone: It is like listening to the music of the spheres, because beyond the immediate message of the person, no matter what that might be, there is the universal.

So there is both the satisfaction of hearing this person and also the satisfaction of feeling one's self in touch with what is universally true.”

Reading, after all, was a thing done in privacy and silence too.”

They just couldn't get out more than one sentence in a row. It was just kind of weird. I think they were just nervous.”
“They say money talks, but all mine ever says is 'good-bye sucker.”
“Anyone who knows of a provable instance of colour discrimination ought always to expose it.”
