Famous quotes containing the words forest and/or distribution:

“Above the forest of the parakeets,
A parakeet of parakeets prevails,
A pip of life amid a mort of tails.”

“The man who pretends that the distribution of income in this country reflects the distribution of ability or character is an ignoramus. The man who says that it could by any possible political device be made to do so is an unpractical visionary. But the man who says that it ought to do so is something worse than an ignoramous and more disastrous than a visionary: he is, in the profoundest Scriptural sense of the word, a fool.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
