Random quote of the day:
“When a thing has been said and well said, have no scruple: take it and copy it. Give references? Why should you? Either your readers know where you have taken the passage and the precaution is needless, or they do not know and you humiliate them.”
—Anatole France, Anatole France Himself: A Boswellian Record by His Secretary, Jean-Jacques Brousson, tr. John Pollock
