"I have heard laughter, and I think it is the laughter of God." The congregation stirred a little, with polite uneasiness. This was not quite the sort of thing to which they were accustomed.

Additional quotes by Christopher Morley

E la parte più triste di tutto questo è che se ci si immagina di essere soddisfatti dei gusci, non rimarrà più appetito per il buon grano.
