Quotations from the third week of 2013

"It is awfully easy to be hard-boiled about everything in the daytime, but at night it is another thing."

--Jacob Barnes

"I can only encourage you to steal as much as you can.  No one will ever notice.  You should keep a notebook of tidbits, but don't write down the attributions, and then after a couple years you can come back to the notebook and treat the stuff as your own without guilt."

--W.G. Sebald

"Immature poets imitate; mature poets steal."

--T.S. Eliot
