Misquotation is, in fact, the pride and privilege of the learned. A widely- read man never quotes accurately, for the rather obvious reason that he has read too widely. Hesketh Pearson, Common Misquotations (1934), Introduction It is by universal misunderstanding that all agree. For if, by ill luck, people understood each other, they would never agree. Charles Baudelaire (1821 - 1867) The more original a discovery, the more obvious it seems afterwards. Arthur Koestler (1905 - 1983) I find that a great part of the information I have was acquired by looking up something and finding something else on the way. Franklin P. Adams (1881 - 1960)
