An’ when our folks eat the stuff they raise an’ live in the houses they build—why, I’ll be there.” ~ John Steinbeck

E. Littlewood, loved to drink in the evening. And on the credit side you gained a cherished memory of English spoken in a Shakespearean style and delivered in the manner of a Spanish grandee.” ~ Fred Hoyle
