Journalism is unreadable and literature is not read. That is all.[Oscar Wilde] Quote:In any fairly large and talkative community such as a university there is always the danger that those who think alike should gravitate together where they will henceforth encounter opposition only in the emasculated form of rumour that the outsiders say thus and thus.

[Evan Esar] Quote:What are man and woman if not members of two very different and warring tribes?
