Television toughens you up, and I like that, but I don't want it to toughen me up too much. Shannyn Sossamon

In the usual (though certainly not in every) public decision on economic policy, the choice is between courses that are almost equally good or equally bad. It is the narrowest decisions that are most ardently debated.

John Kenneth Galbraith

When speaking of a "body of knowledge" or of "the results of research," e.g., we tacitly assign the same cognitive status to inherited knowledge and to independently acquired knowledge.

Leo Strauss
