    keran wing edited the quotations of Friday Sunday, July 26 2009.

    • Added a quotation: ““I’ll drink what you do. Anything but hemlock.”
    • Added a quotation: “Unless you intend to kill him immediately thereafter, never kick a man in the balls. Not even symbolically. Or perhaps especially not symbolically.
    • Added a quotation: “French is suited to lyric poetry, more so than is English – it takes an Edgar Allan Poe to wring beauty consistently out of the dissonances of English. German is unsuited to lyricism, so much so that translations fall sweeter on the ear than do the German originals. This is no fault of Goethe or Heine; it is a defect of an ugly language. Spanish is so musical that a soap-powder commercial in Spanish is more pleasing to the ear than the best free verse in English – the Spanish language is so beautiful that much of its poetry sounds best if the listener does not understand the meaning.
    • Added a quotation: “Do you know what fun it is to buy a saucepan for your very own kitchen?
    • Added a quotation: “People who are busy and happy don’t write diaries; they are too busy living.
