“Men are only as good as their technical development allows them to be.”
—George Orwell (1903–1950)
“On the breasts of a barmaid in Sale
Were tattooed the prices of ale;
And on her behind
For the sake of the blind
Was the same information in Braille.”
—Anonymous.
“The eye repeats every day the first eulogy on things—”He saw that they were good.””
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
