“They who love to inform themselves, are never idle. Though I have no business of consequence to take care of, I am nevertheless continually employed. I spend my life in examining things: I write down in the evening whatever I have remarked, what I have seen, and what I have heard in the day: every thing engages my attention, and every thing excites my wonder: I am like an infant, whose organs, as yet tender, are strongly affected by the slightest objects.”
― Montesquieu, Persian Letters

“It was just a sense that in almost all my dealings with almost everyone I’d talked with, there was another story being told that I couldn’t hear.”
― Robert B. Parker, Potshot
