Favorite saying

• ""The ideas of the past, although half destroyed, being still very powerful, and the ideas which are to replace them being still in process of formation, the modern age represents a period of transition and anarchy." - Gustave Le Bon, 1895 "We need to interpret interpretations more than to interpret things." -Montaigne, qtd. in Derrida "We talk so abstractly about poetry because all of us are usually bad poets." -Friedrich Nietzsche "That Doctors are sometimes fools as well as other people, is not, in the present times, one of those profound secrets which is known only to the learned." -Adam Smith, letter to William Cullen, 20 Sept., 1774. "Rural Newfoundland (along with our great land north of 60) is probably the most vast and scenic welfare ghetto in the world." -Margaret Wente, making friends, Thursday, January 6, 2005 edition of the Globe and Mail "However, anyone with a [historical] theory should tread warily. One is rather in the position of the unmarried girl who is on the pill; one may have doubts, but one still doesn't want to waste the damn thing." - Arthur Marwick, 1974, in 'Conclusions,' War and Social Change. "I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by." - Douglas Adams (stealed from Adam Sharpe) "I never lie. I just improve the truth.""
