| gptkbp:famousQuote |
"There is no such thing as a moral or an immoral book. Books are well written, or badly written."
"A little inaccuracy saves a world of explanation." "It is the mark of a good man to be able to see the good in others." "The more one knows, the more one realizes one does not know." "The only thing that one really knows about human nature is that it changes." |
