�Too often summer days appear
Emblems of perfect happiness
I can�t confront: I must await
A time less bold, less rich, less clear:
An autumn more appropriate.�
- Philip Larkin (1922 � 1985), British poet: �Mother, Summer, I�, written 1953, published in �Collected Poems�, 1988.
�My generation of the Sixties, with all our great ideals, destroyed liberalism, because of our excesses.�
- Camille Paglia (b. 1947), American author and critic: �The MIT Lecture: Crisis in the American Universities�, Sept 19, 1991, published in �Sex, Art and American Culture�, 1992.
�All nature�s creatures join to express nature�s purpose. Somewhere in their mounting and mating, rutting and butting is the very secret of nature itself.�
- Graham Swift (b. 1949), British author: �Shuttlecock�, 1981.
