Things People Said: Never Underestimate A Good Conflict

Things People Said

A collection of quotes I've kept for a while now. I add new ones fairly regularly, generally once or twice every week. Topics will be anything I find interesting that day, from famous writers, online forums, and everyone in between. Mail me quotes you find interesting, or leave them in comments.

Before this post:
• To a life well lived
• A Dolphin Born
• The Sun
• Infatuation and Love
• Tomorrow
• Martha My Dear
• Smart People
• Nevermore
• Trouble
• It Might Be Me

A tremendous debt is owed to the following:

Never Underestimate A Good Conflict

In Italy for thirty years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love; they had five hundred years of democracy and peace and what did they produce? The cuckoo clock.

-- Orson Welles
