Legal Commentary

: Althouse

"I have never quite got over the fact that I thought, and I'm afraid I still do think, that 'acting' for a man ? a really proper man ? is sissified and faintly ridiculous."

ADVERTISEMENTS

"The French have a word for what I am and it's called 'manqué,' meaning a failure of desire.? I am everything 'manqué.' An actor manqué, a philosopher manqué, a writer manqué, and consequently an intolerable bore. (Not manqué, I'm afraid.)... The place I like to be best in the whole world is back in my village in Wales, down at the pub, standing with the miners drinking pints and telling stories. One drinks because life is big and it blinds you. Poetry and drink are the greatest things on earth. Besides women. There's something to death and something to truth, and we're after them all our beautiful lives on earth. Liquor helps."

Said/wrote Richard Burton.
