—Peter Ustinov (b. 1921)
“His education lay like a film of white oil on the black lake of his barbarian consciousness. For this reason, the things he said were hardly interesting at all. Only what he was.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“Truth has scarce done so much good in the world as the false appearances of it have done hurt.”
