Stations Quotes - Page 8

• La charla recreativa es, junto con el canto privado, una de nuestras pérdidas recientes más tristes. Al igual que cantar, hablar se ha convertido en un trabajo para profesionales cualificados, que cobran sumas considerables de dinero por hacerlo en la televisión y la radio mientras nosotros nos sentamos a escuchar en silencio o, si estamos realmente solos y decididos, llamamos a la emisora y nos sentamos con el teléfono en la mano esperando una oportunidad para aportar nuestros dos céntimos.

• Persons in great stations have seldom their true character drawn till several years after their death. Their personal friendships and enmities must cease, and the parties they were engaged in be at an end, before their faults or their virtues can have justice done them. When writers have the least opportunities of knowing the truth, they are in the best disposition to tell it.
