Quote of the Day (T.S. Eliot to Groucho Marx, on the Latter’s Visit)

“The picture of you in the newspapers saying that, amongst other reasons, you have come to London to see me has greatly enhanced my credit in the neighbourhood, and particularly with the greengrocer across the street. Obviously I am now someone of importance.”—Nobel Prize-winning poet T.S. Eliot to comic genius Groucho Marx, June 3, 1964, in The Groucho Letters: Letters From and to Groucho Marx (1967)
