—Minnie Maddern Fiske (1865–1932)
“When mundane, lowly activities are at stake, too much insight is detrimental—far-sightedness errs in immediate concerns.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
“Minds do not act together in public; they simply stick together; and when their private activities are resumed, they fly apart again.”
