Kipling

The high-water mark, so to speak, of Socialist literature is W.H. Auden, a sort of gutless Kipling.

—Orwell, George pseudonym of  Eric Arthur Blair

Soon I was alone and began cursing the bloody bible because there were no titles in itöalthough I found the source of practically every good title you ever heard of. But the boys, principally Kipling, had been there before me and swiped all the good ones so I called the book Men Without Women hoping it would have a large sale among the fairies and old Vassar Girls.

—Hemingway, Ernest Millar
