Famous quotes containing the words free and/or throw:
“I doubt if a single individual could be found from the whole of mankind free from some form of insanity. The only difference is one of degree. A man who sees a gourd and takes it for his wife is called insane because this happens to very few people.”
—Desiderius Erasmus (c. 1466–1536)
“There are many things that we would throw away if we were not afraid that others might pick them up.”
