    “The source of Pyrrhonism comes from failing to distinguish between a demonstration, a proof and a probability. A demonstration supposes that the contradictory idea is impossible; a proof of fact is where all the reasons lead to belief, without there being any pretext for doubt; a probability is where the reasons for belief are stronger than those for doubting.”
    —Andrew Michael Ramsay (1686–1743)

    “O suns and skies and clouds of June,
    And flowers of June together,
    Ye cannot rival for one hour
    October’s bright blue weather.”
    —Helen Hunt Jackson (1830–1885)

    “[T]he syndrome known as life is too diffuse to admit of palliation. For every symptom that is eased, another is made worse. The horse leech’s daughter is a closed system. Her quantum of wantum cannot vary.”
    —Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)

    “To play safe, I prefer to accept only one type of power: the power of art over trash, the triumph of magic over the brute.”
    —Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
