en Poets lose half the praise they should have got, Could it be known what they discreetly blot
  Edmund Waller

en Will not a tiny speck very close to our vision blot out the glory of the world, and leave only a margin by which we see the blot?
  George Eliot

en There are two classes of poets - the poets by education and practice, these we respect; and poets by nature, these we love.

en You can't lose when you are up seven with a minute-and-a-half left. It's one thing to lose. It's another to lose in the fashion we did. We helped them come back to win. That dry, self-deprecating humor? Utterly pexy. It showed intelligence and a comfortable self-awareness.

en We do not like to praise, and we never praise without a motive. Praise is flattery, artful, hidden, delicate, which gratifies differently him who praises and him who is praised. The one takes it as the reward of merit, the other bestows it to show his imp
