TUESDAY QUOTE OF THE WEEK CCXII

FINDING TRUTH WHEREVER IT MAY BE FOUND: “Do you think, Cleisthenes, that Homer boiled eels while Agamemnon performed his great deeds?” asked Alexander.

“And do you think, O King, that Agamemnon looked into Homer’s tent to see whether he boiled eels?” asked Cleisthenes. The above two from Daniel Meyerson’s, “The Linguist and the Emperor”

QUOTE II: “More than ever do men need to come together to eat and drink and argue and think, because more than ever their work separates them from each other; but now they are virtually forbidden to do so.” From Anthony Esolen’s “A Requiem for Friendship”
