Alfred North Whitehead
The merely well-informed man is the most useless bore on God's earth.
Alfred North Whitehead
There is no nature in an instant.
Alfred North Whitehead
When you're average, you're just as close to the bottom as you are the top.
Alfred North Whitehead
How the past perishes is how the future becomes.
Alfred North Whitehead
