Pair Rule

Famous quotes containing the words pair and/or rule:

    I well recall my horror when I heard for the first time, of a journalist who had laid in a pair of what were then called bicycle pants and taken to golf; it was as if I had encountered a studhorse with his hair done up in frizzes, and pink bowknots peeking out of them. It seemed, in some vague way, ignominious, and even a bit indelicate.
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)

    There is no rule more invariable than that we are paid for our suspicions by finding what we suspected.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
