Or, quibbles and nits
dear benjamin,
thank you for your piece this week! some of my fave quotes from this one:
“Lawyers spend a great deal of their time shoveling smoke.”
— Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr
“A trifle consoles us because a trifle upsets us.”
— Blaise Pascal
“In larger things we are convivial; what causes trouble is the trivial.”
— Richard Armour
much thanks!
love
myq
that kerouac quote is one of my favourites of alltime
I think of you more as a Tom Pettyfogger
I so needed this, after reading the headlines today about what can happen when a master of pettifoggery gets power. I especially appreciated the Dorothy Parker quote.
Thank you! I like the challenge of writing about it without mentioning it, an exercise in perspective.
