Point Count

“But you must pay for conformity. All goes well as long as you run with conformists.

—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“If he does really think that there is no distinction between virtue and vice, why, Sir, when he leaves our houses let us count our spoons.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
