Wrong and wrong and wrong

Posted by PJ under character, mistakes, quote of the day, what the living do
No Comments

Random quote of the day:

“The fact remains that getting people right is not what living is all about anyway. It’s getting them wrong that is living, getting them wrong and wrong and wrong and then, on careful reconsideration, getting them wrong again. That’s how we know we’re alive: we’re wrong.”

—Phillip Roth, American Pastoral

In sin and error pining

Posted by PJ under mistakes, quote of the day, truth
No Comments

Random quote of the day:

 

“The rubber-stamp thinking of the world always makes the assumption that the exposure of an error is identical with the discovery of truth—that the error and truth are simply opposites. They are nothing of the sort. What the world turns to, when it has been cured of one error, is usually simply another error, and maybe one worse than the first one.”

—H. L. Mencken, Prejudices, Third Series
