    “It seems to me that your doctor [Tronchin] is more of a philosopher than a physician. As for me, I much prefer a doctor who is an optimist and who gives me remedies that will improve my health. Philosophical consolations are, after all, useless against real ailments. I know only two kinds of sickness—physical and moral: all the others are purely in the imagination.”
    —Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    “Tales of adultery are much improved by period costumes.”
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
