    Robert Frost
    “Some say the world will end in fire,
    Some say in ice.

    Is also great
    And would suffice.”

    Stephen Fry
    “Language is my whore, my mistress, my wife, my pen-friend, my check-out girl. Language is a complimentary moist lemon-scented cleansing square or handy freshen-up wipette.
