Quote for the Day: The Foreign Past
"The past is a foreign country. They do things differently there." (L.P. Hartley, The Go-Between, p 1)
Just as cooks pray for a good crop of young animals and fishermen for a good haul of fish, in the same way busybodies pray for a good crop of calamities or a good haul of difficulties that they, like cooks and fishermen, may always have something to fish out and butcher. (Plutarch, "On Being a Busybody")
"The past is a foreign country. They do things differently there." (L.P. Hartley, The Go-Between, p 1)
