—Spike Lee (b. 1956)
“I doubt if a single individual could be found from the whole of mankind free from some form of insanity. The only difference is one of degree. A man who sees a gourd and takes it for his wife is called insane because this happens to very few people.”
—Desiderius Erasmus (c. 1466–1536)
“The award of a pure gold medal for poetry would flatter the recipient unduly: no poem ever attains such carat purity.”
