Famous quotes containing the words fort and/or museum:
“For one who has not lived even a single lifetime, you are a wise man, Van Helsing.”
—Garrett Fort (1900–1945)
“The Museum is not meant either for the wanderer to see by accident or for the pilgrim to see with awe. It is meant for the mere slave of a routine of self-education to stuff himself with every sort of incongruous intellectual food in one indigestible meal.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
