An Evening with Dogtooth: Popular Quotables
I enjoyed this from GK Chesterton:
In former centuries the educated class ignored the ruck of vulgar literature. They ignored, and therefore did not, properly speaking, despise it. Simple ignorance and indifference does not inflate the character with pride. A man does not walk down the street giving a haughty twirl to his moustaches at the thought of his superiority to some variety of deep-sea fishes.
Delightful!

A very nice quote! However could I direct you to your own moustache-twirling review of The Da Vinci Code.
I also dislike the assumption that some moustachioed boulavardier can consider himself superior to a pelagic organism of good breeding and exquisite taste, moustachioed or otherwise. Some of my best friends are Halibuts.
