“I think that (Alister) MacKenzie and I managed to work as a completely sympathetic team. Of course there was never any question that he was the architect and I was the advisor and consultant. No man learns to design a golf course simply by playing golf, no matter how well.

“It appears an extraordinary thing to me, that since there is such a diabolical spirit in the depravity of human nature, as persecution for difference of opinion in religious tenets, there never happened to be any inquisition, any auto da fe, any crusade, among the Pagans.” HumansSpiritDifferencesReligiousOpinionHappenedHuman NatureExtraordinaryIntolerancePersecutionPaganCrusadesDepravityExtraordinary ThingsInquisitionDiabolicalDifferences Of Opinion Book:The Works of Laurence Sterne ...: With a Life of the Author, Written by Himself ...

“Each religion is a brave guess at the authorship of Hamlet. Yet, as far as the play goes, does it make any difference whether Shakespeare or Bacon wrote it? Would it make any difference to the actors if their parts happened out of nothingness, if they found themselves acting on the stage because of some gross and unpardonable accident? Would it make any difference if the playwright gave them the lines or whether they composed them themselves, so long as the lines were properly spoken? Would it make any difference to the characters if 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' was really a dream?” IfsLongDoePlayCharacterGodDreamNightActorsFoundDifferencesLinesActingHappenedStageBraveAccidentsNothingnessGrossPlaywrightAuthorshipMidsummerMidsummer Night's Dream Author:Lewis Mumford

“There's a big difference, as I'm sure you know, it's a slightly manneristic one, between people of the '60s and people of '68.
