“We tried pathetic appeals to the wandering waiters, who told us they are coming, Sir in a soothing toneand we tried stern remonstrance, & they then said they are coming, Sir in a more injured tone; & after all such appeals they retired into their dens, and hid themselves behind sideboards and dish-covers, still the chops came not. We agreed that of all virtues a waiter can display, that of a retiring disposition is quite the least desirable.”
—Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (18321898)
“No one likes having offended another person; hence everyone feels so much better if the other person doesnt show hes been offended. Nobody likes being confronted by a wounded spaniel. Remember that. It is much easier patientlyand tolerantlyto avoid the person you have injured than to approach him as a friend. You need courage for that.”
—Ludwig Wittgenstein (18891951)
