“Most human quarrels arise from the fact that both wise men and dunces exist who are so constituted as to be incapable of seeing
more than one side of any fact or idea, while each asserts that the side he sees is the only true and right one. ”
–Balzac, from his dedication to “The Cousin Bette,” 1846..
