- Nicolas Bentley (1907 � 1978), English publisher and artist: attributed.
�Better to write for yourself and have no public, than to write for the public and have no self.�
- Cyril Connolly (1903 � 1974), English literary editor, writer and critic: quoted in Pritchett (ed), �Turnstile One�.
�The proliferation of radio and television channels has produced a wilderness of cave-dwellers instead of the promised global village.�
