Famous quotes containing the words benjamin and/or haydon:

    These are days when no one should rely unduly on his “competence.” Strength lies in improvisation. All the decisive blows are struck left-handed.
    —Walter Benjamin (1892–1940)

    The longer a man lives in this world the more he must be convinced that all domestic quarrels had better never be obtruded on the public; for, let the husband be right, or let him be wrong, there is always a sympathy existing for women which is certain to give the man the worst of it.
    —Benjamin Haydon (1786–1846)
