"It is all very well, in these changing……" — Kazuo Ishiguro

"It is all very well, in these changing times, to adapt one's work to take in duties not traditionally within one's realm; but bantering is of another dimension altogether.

One need hardly dwell on the catastrophic possibility of uttering a bantering remark only to discover it wholly inappropriate."

— Kazuo Ishiguro
