Famous quotes containing the words innocence of and/or innocence:
“Our civilization has decided ... that determining the guilt or innocence of men is a thing too important to be trusted to trained men.... When it wants a library catalogued, or the solar system discovered, or any trifle of that kind, it uses up its specialists. But when it wishes anything done which is really serious, it collects twelve of the ordinary men standing round. The same thing was done, if I remember right, by the Founder of Christianity.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
“Do you know anything that in all its innocence is more humiliating than the funny pages of a Sunday newspaper in America?”
—Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
