Shikspur, Shikspur! Who wrote it?
No, I never read Shikspur.
Then you have an immense pleasure to come.

Kitty: Shikspur? Shikspur? Who wrote it? No, I never read Shikspur.
Lady Bab: Then you have an immense pleasure to come.James Townley
It was my sensual excessiveness that jarred him (Jasper Johns, fh). He was always an intellectual. He read a lot, he wrote poetry – he would read Hart Crane’s poems to me, which I loved but didn’t have the patience to read myself – and he was often critical of things like my grammar. But you don’t let a thing like that bother you if you have only two or three real friends.
Robert Rauschenberg
He liked the vast openness of sky and prairie, and found loneliness a pleasure with so immense a domain to be alone in.
Ursula K. Le Guin
The older you get, the humbler you get. I know I don't have that much to offer, and I know I've now read Moby Dick and Anna Karenina, and if I had read those books before I wrote The Hottest State, I don't think I'd have published it. I had the arrogance of the uneducated, which sometimes you need.
Ethan Hawke
Two men wrote a lexicon, Liddell and Scott;
Some parts were clever, but some parts were not.
Hear, all ye learned, and read me this riddle,
How the wrong part wrote Scott, and the right part wrote Liddell.Henry George Liddell
