The days of the digitals are numbered. The metaphor is built into them like a self-destruct mechanism.

I doubt that art needed Ruskin any more than a moving train needs one of its passengers to shove it.

I never had any frustration about writing uncredited. I always felt that the satisfaction of doing it was in the doing of it, really, and getting recognised by the small number of people that know what you did.

Well, we'll know better next time.

I'm attracted to the past.

Sometimes people are so close to the material, they miss an important cross-reference. You can't drop this line because half an hour later, it affects that line. And the writer is the person who knows that immediately.

Personally I am in favour of education but a university is not the place for it.
