Detect & Share Quotes with Friends
"A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines. With consistency a great soul has simply cypher to do. He may besides concern himself with his shadow on the wall. Speak what you lot remember now in hard words, and to-morrow speak what to-morrow thinks in hard words again, though it contradict every matter y'all said to-twenty-four hour period. — 'Ah, so you shall be sure to be misunderstood.' — Is information technology so bad, then, to be misunderstood? Pythagoras was misunderstood, and Socrates, and Jesus, and Luther, and Copernicus, and Galileo, and Newton, and every pure and wise spirit that ever took mankind. To be groovy is to be misunderstood."
