Found A Quotation I Like

This just cracked me up. I hope the Shakespeare folks out there appreciate it, too.

"It has on occasion been a source of puzzlement to me that there are a number of otherwise sensible people, many of them old enough to know better, who maintain, perhaps from some kind of strange cultural snobbery, that William Shakespeare could not have written the plays that bear his name, and that these plays must, obviously, have been written by a member of the British aristocracy, written by some lord or earl forced to hide his literary light under a bushel. And, this is chiefly a source of puzzlement to me because the British aristocracy, while it has produced more than its share of hunters, eccentrics, farmers, warriors, diplomats, con men, heroes, robbers, politicians, and monsters, has never been noted in any century or era for the production of great writers."

from Neil Gaiman's Introduction to Lord Dunsany's The King of Elfland's Daughter. He goes on to note that Lord Dunsany was "one of the rare exceptions."
