“Compromise is a stalling between two fools.”
“And it happened all the time that the compromise between two perfectly rational alternatives was something that made no sense at all.”
“In any compromise between food and poison, it is only death that can win. In any compromise between good and evil, it is only evil that can profit.”
“Death is still the terrible yet amusing entity that establishes a compromise between memory and a sense of humor, and between the sense of humor and the irremediable.”
“Habit is a compromise effected between the individual and his environment, or between the individual and his own organic eccentricities, the guarantee of a dull inviolability, the lightning-conductor of his existence.”
“Arguing with a fool proves there are two.”
