Lake BellI am not attracted to writers by style. What style do Dickens, Grass, and Vonnegut have in common? How silly!

Alain de BottonWhat must strike any intelligent witch or wizard on studying the so-called history of the Elder Wand is that every man who claims to have owned it has insisted that it is "unbeatable," when the known facts of its passage through many owners' hands demonstrate that has it not only been beaten hundreds of times, but that it also attracts trouble as Grumble the Grubby Goat attracted flies.

It is not in their wills to be wise or to be loving; but, unless each is both wise and loving, there can be neither wisdom nor love.
