“Thinking is the most unhealthy thing in the world, and people die of it just as they die of any other disease. Fortunately, in England at any rate, thought is not catching. Our splendid physique as a people is entirely due to our national stupidity.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
“we carry home as prizes
Funny bugs, of handy sizes,
Just to give the day a scientific tone.”
—Charles Edward Carryl (1841–1920)
