Relativity meets quotation

Hesketh Pearson
“Misquotation is, in fact, the pride and privilege of the learned. A widely- read man never quotes accurately, for the rather obvious reason that he has read too widely.”

Another reason to blog write web zines: ease of recall. In the days of yesteryear, that fine phrase, that interesting factoid, that precise turn of events was imprisoned on a bookshelf somewhere in another room, or trapped in a scribbled journal entry. Now, all is public, and easily googled.
