Here's looking at you, George

All those reviews of Clinton's My Life that complain of how Clinton goes on and on about everything remind me of this exchange from The Maltese Falcon:

Gutman: You're a close-mouthed man.

Spade: No, I like to talk.

Gutman: Better and better. I distrust a close-mouthed man. He generally picks the wrong time to talk and says the wrong things. Talking's something you can't do judiciously unless you keep in practice. Now, sir, we'll talk if you like. I'll tell you right out - I'm a man who likes talking to a man who likes to talk.
