![Experience has taught me a technique for dealing with such people [...] I counter the devotees of the Great Pyramid by adoration of the Sphinx; and the devotee of nuts by pointing out that hazelnuts and walnuts are as deleterious as other foods and only Brazil nuts should be tolerated. But when I was younger I had not yet acquired this technique, with the result that my contacts with cranks were sometimes alarming.](/assets/img/quote-photos/experience-has-taught-me-a-technique-for-dealing-with-such-people-i-counter.jpg)

As long as junk need exists, someone will service it. William S. Burroughs
