False Accounting

Famous quotes containing the words false and/or accounting:

    Over the stark plain
    The stilted mill-chimneys once again spread
    Their sackcloth and ashes a flowing mane
    Of repentance for the false day that’s fled.
    William Robert Rodgers (1909–1969)

    I, who am king of the matter I treat, and who owe an accounting for it to no one, do not for all that believe myself in all I write. I often hazard sallies of my mind which I mistrust.
    Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
