Favourite quotes

"Art, like morality, consists in drawing the line somewhere." -- Chesterton "The problem with socialism is that it takes up too many evenings." -- Wilde Hopefully the second won't be construed as anti-socialism, which it isn't really, or the first as pro-censorship, which it isn't at all. They are both glib, though, which seems ok. Also: "To do the opposite of something is also a form of imitation, namely an imitation of its opposite." -- Lichtenberg "You get tragedy where the tree, instead of bending, breaks." -- Wittgenstein (The most properly vague one, as good quotes tend to be.)
