    “The circumstances of human society are too complicated to be submitted to the rigour of mathematical calculation.”
    —Marquis De Custine (1790–1857)

    “Art is an experience, not the formulation of a problem.”
    —Lindsay Anderson (b. 1923)

    “The receipt to make a speaker, and an applauded one too, is short and easy.—Take of common sense quantum sufficit, add a little application to the rules and orders of the House, throw obvious thoughts in a new light, and make up the whole with a large quantity of purity, correctness, and elegancy of style.”
    —Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    “the moderate Aristotelian city
    Of darning and the Eight-Fifteen, where Euclid’s geometry
    And Newton’s mechanics would account for our experience,
    And the kitchen table exists because I scrub it.”
    —W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
