“Every improvement in communication makes the bore more terrible. Nowadays he can get himself published as easily as he can get himself invited out to dinner. So you meet him more frequently in print. But you meet everybody and everything more frequently in print. It is rather absurd to quarrel with print on that account or to blame the publishers exclusively. The more food there is in the world the more fools will be fed. It is not the fault of the food or the food producers.”
Frank Moore Colby, Imaginary Obligations (1904) (via reconnoitre) (via asleepandawake)
