They take part of a verb and put it down here, like a stake, and they take the other part of it and put it away over yonder like another stake, and between these two limits they just shovel in German. from "Disappearance of Literature Mark Twain

There's plenty out there. Nick Hornby
Nicholas Mosley quote: "What if the need to have a hard time is built into human nature?"
