Frasi di Irving Layton

“La coscienza: l'autostima fornita di alone.”

“Quando discuti con i tuoi inferiori,
Li convinci soltanto di una cosa:
Che sono intelligenti quanto te.”

“When you argue with your inferiors,
you convince them of only one thing:
they are as clever as you.”

“God is indeed dead.
He died of self-horror
when He saw the creature He had made
in His own image.”

“If poetry is like an orgasm, an academic can be likened to someone who studies the passion-stains on the bedsheets.”

“Canadians look down on the United States and consider it Hell. They are right to do so. Canada is to the United States what, in Dante's scheme, Limbo is to Hell.”
