When my brain begins to reel from my literary labors, I make an occasional cheese dip  (Century Quotes) Employers sense in me a denial of their values... they fear me. I suspect that they can see that I am forced to function in a century which I loathe  (Century Quotes) A block that had moved into the twentieth century carelessly and uncaringly - and with very limited funds  (Century Quotes) I was brought up in the great tradition of the late nineteenth century: that a writer never complains, never explains and never disdains  (Century Quotes) A great many people experience the movement from one century to the next, but a minuscule number of people experience the movement from one millennium to the next  (Century Quotes) We've seen in the last half century an incredible shift.
