Literary Quote of the Day

"But ask him to explain the mechanism of one of his inventions and linguistic hell breaks loose. He begins jabbering like a schizophrenic parrot reading a Sanskrit dictionary backward!" (Nelson Bond)

There's no use asking which politician the author was writing about: none of the current crop were likely born when it was written.
