Mark Van Doren

Wit is the only wall between us and the dark.

I love the fall. I love it because of the smells that you speak of; and also because things are dying, things that you don't have to take care of anymore, and the grass stops growing.

Bring ideas in and entertain them royally, for one of them may be the king.

Nothing in man is more serious than his sense of humor; it is the sign that he wants all the truth.
