3. "I suppose it would be better if one were aggressive, contentious and so on. But there's rarely any occasion to be savage." ~ Frank Kermode
4. "Having compared the novel-reader with an infant and a primitive, one can go further and call him a psychopath; and this I shall shortly be doing." ~ Frank Kermode
