Some people take pages to describe a character...others select a few well-chosen words and do the job in the snap of a single sentence. "A modest little person, with much to be modest about." - Winston Churchill "His ears made him look like a taxicab with both doors open." - Howard Hughes (about Clark Gable) "He is not only dull himself, he is the cause of dullness in others." -Samuel Johnson
