    - Winston Churchill, in response.

    Hotelier and author Frank Case, owner of the Algonquin Hotel and host to its famous Round Table, could not stand the novels of William Faulkner and what he considered to be their grisly and distasteful scenes. Meeting Faulkner in the lobby of the hotel one day, Case asked Faulkner how he was doing and the author responded that his stomach had been upset all day, to which Case replied, "Something you wrote, no doubt".
    Civilized men are more discourteous than savages because they know they can be impolite without having their skulls split, as a general thing.” - Robert E. Howard
