Louis Kronenberger quotes about
success winning sight
The technique of winning is so shoddy, the terms of winning are so ignoble, the tenure of winning is so brief; and the specter of the has-been-a shameful rather than a pitiable sight today-brings a sudden chill even to our sunlit moments.
may reign conformity
Conformity may not always reign in the prosperous bourgeois suburb, but it ultimately always governs.
essence inspire special
The essence of the expert is that his field shall be very special and narrow: one of the ways in which he inspires confidence is to rigidly limit himself to the little toe; he would scarcely venture an off-the-record opinion on an infected little finger.
writing gossip columnists
It is the gossip columnist's business to write about what is none of his business.
american-critic
Individualism is rather like innocence; there must be something unconscious about it.
age american-critic
The trouble with our age is all signposts and no destination.
american-critic display greater
Nothing so soothes our vanity as a display of greater vanity in others; it make us vain, in fact, of our modesty.
american-critic art tears
In art there are tears that lie too deep for thought.
