Random quote of the day:

 

“Great literature must spring from an upheaval in the author’s soul.  If that upheaval is not present then it must come from the works of any other author which happens to be handy and easily adapted.”

—Robert Benchley, quoted in Bon Bons, Bourbon and Bon Mots: Stories from the Algonquin Round Table by Franklin Pierce Adams, Robert Benchley, and Heywood Broun
