Creative Quotations from Alistair Cooke ( ) born Nov 20 English-US broadcast journalist; He is best known for his lively and insightful interpretations of American history and culture.

Curiosity is free-wheeling intelligence.

Man has an incurable habit of not fulfilling the prophecies of his fellow men.

A professional is a man who can do his best at a time when he doesn't particularly feel like it.

As always, the British especially shudder at the latest American vulgarity, and then they embrace it with enthusiasm two years later.
