I feel vaugely that you're paying me a compliment', returned Mrs. Crowley, 'but it's so elusive that I can't quite catch it.''The best compliments are those that flutter about your head like butterflies around a flower.''I much prefer to fix them down on a board with a pin through their insides and a narrow strip of paper to hold down each wing.
-W. Somerset Maugham
