"Since there is no one else to praise me, I will praise myself -- will say that I have never tampered with a single tooth in my thought machine, such as it is. There are teeth missing, God knows -- some I was born without, teeth that will never grow.

"Moderate giftedness has been made worthless by the printing press and radio and television and satellites and all that.
