Quote of the Day (Michael Palin, on How to be a Fool in Your Diary)

“Don’t write anything you might regret. This was an occupational hazard for the great English diarists of the 1930s. ‘Met Hitler. Rather liked him.’ ‘The Nuremberg Rally could have gone on longer.’ ‘He [Stalin] could go far if he weren’t so pitifully shy.’”—Michael Palin, "A Dogged Diarist’s Do’s and Don’ts of Diary Writing,” Vanity Fair, April 2011
