• The stabbing horror of life is not contained in calamities and disasters, because these things wake one up and one gets very familiar and intimate with them and finally they become tame again.

• I don’t like doing interviews. I’m not pretending to be some super neurotic, hiding in my closet. I could care less about anybody knowing who I am, but I realize this is part of the game. Maybe if I really hated this whole public thing, I would go do plays in Hoboken.

• No, he was no such charlatan--
  Count de Hoboken Flash-in-the-Pan--
  Full of gasconade and bravado,
  But a regular, rich Don Rataplane,
  Santa Claus de la Muscavado,
  Senor Grandissimo Bastinado!
  His was the rental of half Havana
  And all Matanzas; and Santa Ana,
  Rich as he was, could hardly hold
  A candle to light the mines of gold
  Our Cuban owned.

  Edmund Clarence Stedman

  Light, Gold, Half
