When I find someone I respect writing about an edgy, nervous wine that dithered in the glass, I cringe. When I hear someone I don’t respect talking about an austere, unforgiving wine, I turn a bit austere and unforgiving myself.

After that, watch out Picture Quote #1

And no love, only egotism, infatuation and lust Picture Quote #1

We should be wrong to demand that a critic must stay on the point all the time; it is enough if he remains in orbit around it Picture Quote #1

Self criticism must be my guide to action, and the first rule for its employment is that in itself it is not a virtue, only a procedure Picture Quote #1

One of the great benefits of organised religion is that you can be forgiven your sins, which must be a wonderful thing. I mean, I carry my sins around with me, there’s nobody there to forgive them Picture Quote #1
