It always takes a man that never made much at any thing to tell you how to run your business, though.

What a gulf between impression and expression! That’s our ironic fate—to have Shakespearean feelings and (unless by some billion-to-one chance we happen to be Shakespeare) to talk about them like automobile salesmen or teen-agers or college professors.

I came from an educated, upper middle-class family. My mother was a Persian and history teacher at a large high school for girls.
