    To be made to hold his tongue is the greatest insult you can offer him—though he might be ready with a poker to make you hold yours.

    The lore of our fathers is a fabric of sentences.... It is a pale gray lore, black with fact and white with convention. But I have found no substantial reasons for concluding that there are any quite black threads in it, or any white ones.
    Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
