[Rarebooks] FS: Two Fine Autograph Quotations on one sheet by W. Somerset Maugham, SIGNED

[Charles Agvent]

MAUGHAM, W. Somerset. AUTOGRAPH QUOTATION SIGNED (AQS). n.p., n.d. Two 
different quotations on one 7-1/2" x 5-1/2" sheet of paper SIGNED by the 
author at the bottom. The quotes--"There is no need for the writer to 
eat a whole sheep to be able to tell you what mutton tastes like. It is 
enough if he eats a cutlet. But he should do that"--and--"People will 
sometimes forgive you the good you have done them, but seldom the harm 
they have done you"--are both from A WRITER'S NOTEBOOK. Pencil notes and 
mounting traces on verso. The green ink has feathered and faded 
somewhat, but the piece is still quite attractive and most unusual.
