I wish I knew the exact quote and who said it, but...
"I am sitting in the smallest room in my house with your letter in front of me. Soon it will be behind me."
(think...)

That was a playwright who said of a drama critic who had panned his latest production,
"I have your review in front of me. In a moment it will be behind me."
If not Shaw, may have been Alec Woollcott.

Actually, that's a famous remark by the 19th century composer Max Reger regarding a review written by a critic he held in slight regard. See

It was composer Erik Satie, replying to a critic:
"I am sitting in the smallest room in the house. I have your review in front of me. Soon it will be behind me."
