grim quotes

   How unpleasant to meet Mr Eliot! With his features of clerical cut, And his brow so grim And his mouth so prim.

-T(homas) S(tearns) Eliot
  'Five-Finger Exercises'.

No woman has to prove herself a woman in the grim way a man has to prove himself a man. He must perform, or the show does not go on. Social convention is irrelevant. A flop is a flop.

- Heinz R(udolf) Pagels
