Quotes by Noah Charney (?)

“The best thieves are honest and professional, never mistreating unless mistreated, cautious but never rude. High class thieves are self-righteous, recognize their own value and the value of trust, even in crime”
― Noah Charney, The Art Thief

“Though the multitude of Plečnik’s architecture is what most foreigners recall after visiting Ljubljana, there is no single iconic view that defines Ljubljana for the visitor.”

“Slovene essayists like to employ an abstruse lexicon. This idea that sounding complicated makes you sound clever is not universally shared, however. Most American readers would say that anyone who uses exotic words, like “abstruse lexicon” are over-compensating for a lack of content, and that to look up ten-euro words in a thesaurus makes you sound desperate, not clever.”
― Noah Charney, Slovenology: Living and Traveling in the World’s Best Country
