I got a lot of surprises. — Frank Warren

I think in daily newspapers, the way comic strips are treated, it's as if newspaper publishers are going out of their way to kill the medium.

These small, considerate actions will make you an ideal petowner. — Joyce Jillson

And yet in one way the old days were better; [Vachel] Lindsay after a while, by luck and skill, got far more readers than any poet could get today. — Randall Jarrell
