A little busy mind runs on at all events, must be doing; and, like a blind horse, fears no dangers, because he sees none. Il faut scavoir sennuïer.*”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (16941773)
“Theyre busy making bigger roads,
and better roads and more,
so that people can discover
even faster than before
that everything is everywhere alike.”
—Piet Hein (b. 1905)
