…»Laurence J. Peter



A Toast

Here’s to my psychiatrist. He finds you cracked and leaves you broke.



An Encouraging Rejection

In 1847, Charlotte Bront?»(using the name Currer Bell) submitted the manuscript of»The Professor»to the publisher Smith, Elder. The firm’s letter of rejection actually encouraged the author. It discussed the book’s merits and demerits so courteously, so considerately, in a spirit so rational, with a discrimination so enlightened, that this very refusal cheered the author better than a vulgarly expressed acceptance would have done. Later that same year Smith, Elder published»Jane Eyre.



Armenian Proverb

Kalyon:»»»»“»»»»»»»»“»»»»»»»»»»“

N?rg?lah:»»»“»»»»»»»»“»»»»»»»»»»“

?Arz?-mand: keen (sharp)

B?n: keeper

Chi:»»»»»“



The Long and the Short of It
