Famous quotes containing the words allan and/or massie:

    I have often been reproached with the aridity of my genius; a deficiency of imagination has been imputed to me as a crime; and the Pyrrhonism of my opinions has at all times rendered me notorious. Indeed, a strong relish for physical philosophy has, I fear, tinctured my mind with a very common error of this age—I mean the habit of referring occurrences, even the least susceptible of such reference, to the principles of that science.
    —Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)

    Blunders are an inescapable feature of war, because choice in military affairs lies generally between the bad and the worse.
    —Allan Massie (b. 1938)
