  2. Es hat was von einem ungemein unterhaltsamen "Bassena-Tratsch", dem sich eine halt auch nur schwer entziehen kann. Speziell wenn sie über Promis tratschen wie Marlene (Dietrich) und "ihren Mann" (Jean Gabin).

  3. A quotation from Horace

    To go on with my advice (that is, supposing
    You need advice from me): Be careful about
    The things you say and the people to whom you say them.
    Avoid the man who asks too many questions.
    No question but he’ll be a teller of tales;
    An ear that eager can’t keep a secret for long,
    And once a word slips out it won’t come back.
     
    [Protinus ut moneam (si quid monitoris eges tu)
    quid de quoque viro et cui dicas, saepe videto,
    percontatorem fugito: nam garrulus idem est,
    nec retinent patulae commissa fideliter aures,
    et semel emissum volat irrevocabile verbum.]

    Horace (65–8 BC) Roman poet, satirist, soldier, politician [Quintus Horatius Flaccus]
    Epistles [Epistularum, Letters], Book 1, ep. 18 “To Lollius,” l. 67ff (1.18.67-71) (20 BC) [tr. Ferry (2001)]

  7. A quotation from Bible, vol. 1, Old Testament:

    «
    The stroke of the whip maketh marks in the flesh: but the stroke of the tongue breaketh the bones. Many have fallen by the edge of the sword: but not so many as have fallen by the tongue.

  8. Fun Fact: Writing #NamingGotham reconnected me with old friends! Just got this email from a college buddy (go Wes!):
    "Just now I was reading your chapter on Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney and thought that her Titanic sculpture looked familiar. I was in DC a month ago when I snapped this photo."
