Quotation of the Day for April 4, 2011



"Lately readers have begun to complain about my short chapters, although in my opinion there is no particular reason why a chapter should be long.

"Does one complain to Rimbaud because of the brevity of his verse?

"In fact I am old and there are very many subjects about which I have something to say--just not much."

- Larry McMurtry, novelist, bookseller, and screenwriter. The above is the complete Chapter 26 from his recent memoir, Hollywood.
