Browne Report

Famous quotes containing the words browne and/or report:

    Obstinacy in a bad cause is but constancy in a good.
    —Thomas Browne (1605–1682)

    Where I would like to discover facts, I find fancy. Where I would like to learn what I did, I learn only what I was thinking. They are loaded with opinion, moral thoughts, quick evaluations, youthful hopes and cares and sorrows. Occasionally, they manage to report something in exquisite honesty and accuracy. That is why I have refrained from burning them.
    —E.B. (Elwyn Brooks)
