To be angry at the market because it unexpectedly or even illogically goes against you is like getting mad at your lungs because you have pneumonia. Charles BaudelaireĨ I never argue with the tape. Harold Bell Wrightħ Since photography gives us every guarantee of exactitude that we could desire (they really believe that, the mad fools !), then photography and art are the same thing. He who sees and hears too much is cursed for a dreamer, a fanatic, or a fool, by the mad mob who, having eyes, see not, ears and hear not, and refuse to understand. James Agateĥ Is it mad to pray for better hallucinations? Alice LiddellĦ Here and there among men, there are those who pause in the hurried rush to listen to the call of a life that is more real.
The murderer may have acted on a sudden mad impulse he may be penitent and amend but a spy is always a spy, night and day, in bed, at table, as he walks abroad his vileness pervades every moment of his life Honore de BalzacĤ The maddest phenomenon in this wholly mad world 鈥?that the filming or wirelessing of an event, whether it is the Grand National or an attack in force on the Maginot Line, is held to be of more importance than the event itself. Oscar Wildeģ A murderer is less loathsome to us than a spy. Behind every exquisite thing that existed, there was something tragic. It posed the lad, made him more perfect as it were. The mother snatched away by death, the boy left to solitude and the tyranny of an old and loveless man. Months of voiceless agony, and then a child born in pain. A few wild weeks of happiness cut short by a hideous, treacherous crime. Bram StokerĢ A beautiful woman risking everything for a mad passion.
I have tried to keep an open mind, and it is not the ordinary things of life that could close it, but the strange things, the extraordinary things, the things that make one doubt if they be mad or sane. I have learned not to think little of any one's belief, no matter how strange it may be. 1 Oh, my dear, if you only knew how strange is the matter regarding which I am here, it is you who would laugh.
