Cyril Connolly Quotes:
Ocupation: Critic
Life: September 10, 1903 - November 26, 1974
Birthday: September 10
Death: November 26

Why has he acquired a seventy years life-span only to poison it incurably by the mere being of himself? Why has he thrown Conscience, like a dead rat, to putrefy in the well?
