Famous quotes containing the words non-business and/or interest:
“I hold that the parentheses are by far the most important parts of a non-business letter.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“Any effort in philosophy to make the obscure obvious is likely to be unappealing, for the penalty of failure is confusion while the reward of success is banality. An answer, once found, is dull; and the only remaining interest lies in a further effort to render equally dull what is still obscure enough to be intriguing.”
—Nelson Goodman (b. 1906)
