Alex Shoumatoff Quotes
Elephants are highly emotional. Whatever they are feeling, they let it out immediately, and the histrionics are over and forgotten in a moment, lasting no longer than the cloud formations that are constantly coming apart and re-forming overhead. There is no guile in pachyderms.

But . . . there's often a freshness that is missing in later works--for every gain there's a loss. I think it evens out in that way.
