“Pedantry. The delight in living. Brio. The chance to act, to mime, to mock, to mimic.”
“I do not mean to mock or ridicule your life's work, for in one way at least it mimics my own: We have dedicated our lives to the pursuit of phantoms. The difference is the nature of those phantoms. Mine exist between other men's ears; yours live solely between your own.”
“What is this world's delight,Lightening that mocks the night,Brief as even as bright”
“This is the type of arrant pedantry up with which I will not put.”
“Mimes! You can't tell me the devil doesn't have anything to do with mimes!-Paula, Holy Smokes”
“A fool’s brain digests philosophy into folly, science into superstition, and art into pedantry. Hence University education.”
