From Edith Sitwell
I have often wished I had time to cultivate modesty... but I am too busy thinking about myself.

Hot water is my native element. I was in it as a baby, and I have never seemed to get out of it ever since.
The public will believe anything, so long as it is not founded on truth.
I am one of those unhappy persons who inspire bores to the greatest flights of art.
