What Nobody Can Do Unless They Are Somebody

________________________________________________________________________________________________

Nobody can commit the impropriety
of public self-praise without losing
personal dignity and integrity
but, in the field of the arts,
it's a common sacrifice.

    I am a nobody who is anxious to know
    which WOUK book this quote is from.
    But I am 99.9 percent certain
    it is not from "The Caine Mutiny."

      As a fellow Nobody, I appreciate your knowing
      the quote is NOT from "The Caine Mutiny,"
      but time presently does not allow me
      to provide the source link.

      But this card-carrying member of The Nobody Society,

      AURORA DAWN
