The experience I don’t want to see repeated occurred in ‘Bush v. Gore.’ The Court divided five to four. There were four separate dissents, and that confused the press. In fact, some of the reporters announced that the decision was seven-two. There was no time to get together. Ruth Bader Ginsburg

Imagine someone so infatuated by a band that they have every different pressing of every album the band made. Most of the time, the only difference in the album is the matrix number or a different ‘made in’ notation on the back cover or label. This is enough to make some people extremely excited. Actually, much more than excited. Henry Rollins
The method of instruction in Scouting is that of creating in the boy the desire to learn for himself. Robert Baden-Powell

I didn’t like the play, but then I saw it under adverse conditions – the curtain was up. Groucho Marx
