One morning I came across a 1927 movie called Love , with Greta Garbo and John Gilbert.
Probably no star could get away with it if he weren't such an image of cool, as beautiful and remote and self-contained as Garbo or Chet Baker.
He continues: "Salinger became the Greta Garbo of literature, and then periodically, when it may have seemed he was about to be forgotten, he resurfaced briefly, just to remind the public that he wanted to be left alone . The whole act could have been cute or whimsical; only, it felt as if it were being put on by a master showman, a genius spin doctor, a public-relations wizard hawking a story the public couldn't get enough of."
Whether Greta Garbo actually ever said, I want to be alone (she did), is of little consequence in the larger scheme of things; but the world consists of many parts, including many smaller--even infinitesimal--things, and we must not turn our noses up at the exact wording of Neil Armstrong's moon quotation: at least it was in English, and one need not try to explain that in Et tu, Brute , the last word is not the English word brute but the vocative case of Latin Brutus and then go off into the paroxysmal grammar of Latin to explain what a vocative is.
