Laughter would be bereaved if snobbery died. - Peter Ustinov

I like it. A lot. Hee!

ETA:Someone in F_W posted this quote from Neil Gaiman's journal:

And the answer to all of them is honestly, I think you can all write your essays without me. Pretend I'm a dead author. I won't mind. I promise I'll never come to your place of education and say, in the hearing of your teachers, "You do not understand me or my work! Your essay on the solar myth and rebirth in Sandman and American Gods with especial reference to the pagan themes and the use of Pan in the works of Kenneth Grahame was utterly and completely wrong. Hah!" Honest I won't.

I love this man and promise to read more of his work (have read Good Omens. highly recommended) as soon as possible.

"I promise I'll never come to your place of education and say, in the hearing of your teachers, 'You do not understand me or my work!'"

As someone who often has to write about living artists, this would be a very reassuring statement!
