― Apsley Cherry-Garrard, The Worst Journey in the World

“A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.”
― Douglas Adams, Mostly Harmless

“Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities.”
― Voltaire
