All great ideas are dangerous. Only the shallow know themselves. Men marry because they are tired, women because they are curious; both are disappointed. Always forgive your enemies. Nothing annoys them more. To be natural is such a very difficult pose to keep up. I am not young enough to know everything. Whenever people agree with me I always feel I must be wrong. We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars. The public have an insatiable curiosity to know everything. Except what is worth knowing. Journalism, conscious of this, and having tradesman-like habits, supplies their demands. The only thing worse than being talked about is not being talked about. |
