“Quotations”

Here are a few quotations that I find interesting.

"Outside of a dog, a book is probably man's best friend; inside of a dog, it's too dark to read."
- Groucho Marx

“You are totally incorrect; but I respect your decision to be wrong."
- The Illusionist

"We often think that when we have completed our study of “one”, we know all about “two” because “two” is “one and one”. We forget that we have still to make a study of “and”."
- A. S. Eddington

“Half of writing history is hiding the truth”.
- Malcolm Reynolds, Captain of the Serenity
(My apologies to the screenwriter that actually wrote the line.)

“The 4th Amendment and the personal rights it secures have a long history. At the very core stands the right of a man to retreat into his own home and there be free from unreasonable governmental intrusion."
- Potter Stewart

"If there is a special Hell for writers it would be in the forced contemplation of their own works."
- John Dos Passos

"If you let other people do it for you, they will do it to you."
