| One cannot review a bad book without showing off. |
| One cannot walk through an assembly factory and not feel that one is in Hell. |
| One tapped my shoulder and asked me `How did you fall, sir?' / Whereat I awakened. |
| Only those in the last stage of disease could believe that children are true judges of character. |
| Our researchers into Public Opinion are content/ That he held the proper opinions for the time of year;/ When there was peace, he was for peace; when there was war, he went. |
| Pleasure is by no means an infallible guide, but it is the least fallible. |
| Poetry is the clear expression of mixed feelings. |
| Poetry makes nothing happen. It survives in the valley of its saying. |

| Proper names are poetry in the raw. Like all poetry they are untranslatable. |
| Rhymes, meters, stanza forms, etc., are like servants. If the master is fair enough to win their affection and firm enough to command their respect, the result is an orderly happy household. If he is too tyrannical, they give notice; if he lacks authority, they become slovenly, impertinent, drunk and dishonest. |
