Variety Night

Famous quotes containing the words variety and/or night:

    To invent without scruple a new principle to every new phenomenon, instead of adapting it to the old; to overload our hypothesis with a variety of this kind, are certain proofs that none of these principles is the just one, and that we only desire, by a number of falsehoods, to cover our ignorance of the truth.
    David Hume (1711–1776)

    Whar have you been for the last three year
    That you haven’t heard folks tell
    How Jimmy Bludso passed in his checks
    The night of the Prairie Belle?
    John Milton Hay (1838–1905)
