Top 5 quotes from Russell Lynes
"Cynicism is the intellectual cripple's substitute for intelligence. It is the dishonest businessman's sub writer, for self-respect."
"The true snob never rests; there is always a higher goal to attain, and there are, by the same token, always more and more people to look down upon."
"The bungalow had more to do with how Americans live today than any other building that has gone remotely by the name of architecture in our history."
"The Art Snob will stand back from a picture at some distance, his head cocked slightly to one side…. After a long period of gazing (during which he may occasionally squint his eyes), he will approach to within a few inches of the picture and examine the brushwork; he will then return to his former distant position, give the picture another glance and walk away."
"The Art Snob can be recognized in the home by the quick look he gives the pictures on your walls, quick but penetrating, as though he were undressing them. This is followed either by complete and pained silence or a comment such as "That's really a very pleasant little water color you have there."

"Laughter is the closest thing to the grace of God."
"The distinction between children and adults, while probably useful for some purposes, is at bottom a specious one, I feel. There are only individual egos, crazy for love."
