Knowledge, without common sense, says Lee, is folly; without method, it is waste; without kindness, it is fanaticism; without religion, it is death.

It has to be displayed, this face, on a more or less horizontal plane. Imagine a man wearing a mask, and imagine that the elastic which holds the mask on has just broken, so that the man (rather than let the mask slip off) has to tilt his head back and balance the mask on his real face. This is the kind of tyranny which Lawson's face exerts over the rest of his body as he cruises along the corridors. He doesn't look down his nose at you, he looks along his nose. (Quote by - James Fenton)

The fool who persists in his folly will become wise. (Quote by - William Blake)

Every man gets a narrower and narrower field of knowledge in which he must be an expert in order to compete with other people. The specialist knows more and more about less and less and finally knows everything about nothing. (Quote by - Michael Garrett Marino)

Logic, like whiskey, loses its beneficial effect when taken in too large quantities. (Quote by - Lord Dunsany)

Whoever undertakes to set himself up as a judge of Truth and Knowledge is shipwrecked by the laughter of the gods. (Quote by - Harlan Ellison)

Many a man owes his success to his first wife and his second wife to his success. (Quote by - Jim Backus)

Never play cards with a man called Doc. Never eat at a place called Mom s. Never sleep with a woman whose troubles are worse than your own. (Quote by - Nelson Algren)

It would not be better if things happened to men just as they wish. (Quote by - Heraclitus)
