  1. A quotation from Judith Martin

    Should you happen to notice that another person is extremely tall or overweight, eats too much or declines convivial drinks, has red hair or goes about in a wheelchair, ought to get married or ought not to be pregnant — see if you can refrain from bringing these astonishing observations to that person’s attention.

    Judith Martin (b. 1938) American author, journalist, etiquette expert [a.k.a. Miss Manners]
    “Miss Manners,” syndicated column (1986-01-19)
