“No sociologist ... should think himself too good, even in his old age, to make tens of thousands of quite trivial computations in his head and perhaps for months at a time.

—Max Weber (1864–1920)

“The function of comedy is to dispel ... unconsciousness by turning the searchlight of the keenest moral and intellectual analysis right on to it.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

“It should never fall into something usual and settled, but should be alert and inventive, and add rhyme and reason to what was drudgery.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
