- Evil is unspectacular and always human
- And shares our bed and eats at our own table.
W.H. AUDEN, Herman Melville
Murder is unique in that it abolishes the party it injures, so that society has to take the place of the victim and on his behalf demand atonement or grant forgiveness; it is the one crime in which society has a direct interest.
W.H. AUDEN, The Dyer's Hand
No good opera plot can be sensible, for people do not sing when they are feeling sensible.
W.H. AUDEN, Time magazine, Dec. 29, 1961
