The Importance of Being Witty

O'Hara: You won't even get far enough to have anybody judge whether you're right or not. If you don't have that, that kind of deluge in, I think it was in St. Mark's -- a friend Adam Horovitz from the VST boys used to drink there. He said he couldn't reach the bar, but he'd walk in there and then they would serve him. That's in this book. The other line that you have in the book is that clever pushes people away and witty draws people close.
