From Wikipedia
Cyril Vernon Connolly (10 September 1903 – 26 November 1974) was an English intellectual, literary critic and writer. He was the editor of the influential literary magazine Horizon (1940–1949) and wrote Enemies of Promise (1938), which combined literary criticism with an autobiographical exploration of why he failed to become the successful author of fiction that he had aspired to be in his youth. |
Wonderful! That could apply equally to areas outside of writing. Wikiquote gives the source as the February 25, 1933 issue of
The New Statesman.
