David Wells Famous Quotes

David Wells Quotations

Round numbers are always false.
Samuel Johnson
"The fact that we don't know this man, isn't important really. Cause his experience is our experience, and his fate is our fate. Vani tass, vani tatum, et omni i vani tass, says the preacher. All is vanity I think that's a pretty good epitaph for all of us. When we're stripped of all our worldly possessions and all our fame, family, friends, we all face death alone. But it's that solitude in death that's our common bond in life. I know it's ironic, but that's just the way things are. Vani tass, vani tatum, et omni i vani tass. Only when we understand all is vanity, only then, it isn't."
Andrew Schneider
"Love is not enough. It must be the foundation, the cornerstone- but not the complete structure. It is much too pliable, too yielding."

G C Lichtenberg
