William B Hartsfield Quotes & Sayings

As you and I listen to Uncle Monty tell the three Baudelaire orphans that no harm will ever come to them in the Reptile Room, we should be experiencing the strange feeling that accompanies the arrival of dramatic irony.

Fun is what you do for yourself. If somebody else does it, it's entertainment. — David Mamet
