The real tragedy of the Library at Alexandria was not that the incendiaries burned immensely, but that they had neither the leisure nor the taste to discriminate.... but we may agree that, in reading, it is not quantity so much that tells, as quality and thoroughness of digestion." ~ Arthur Quiller Couch

Today's Quote

Nekem személy szerint pinám van. Néha bula vagy muff, de általában csak pina. A pina rendes, osi, történelmi eredetu, eros szó. Tetszik, hogy egyben a legeroteljesebb szitokszó is. Igen. Ennyire eros, srácok. Ha megmondom, mim van nekem odalenn, idosebb hölgyek és egyházi személyek még elájulnak. Imádom, hogy sokkol mindenkit, ha azt mondom, „pina". Mintha atombomba vagy vérszomjas tigris vagy fegyver lenne a bugyimban."
