Bertrand Russell
“Consulting the rules of composition before taking a photograph, is like consulting the laws of gravity before going for a walk.”
Edward Weston
“Our memories are card indexes consulted and then returned in disorder by authorities whom we do not control.”
Cyril Connolly
“I became a virtuoso of deceit. It wasn't pleasure I was after, it was knowledge. I consulted the strictest moralists to learn how to appear, philosophers to find out what to think and novelists to see what I could get away with. And, in the end, I distilled everything down to one wonderfully simple principle: win or die.”
Christopher Hampton
“Ere fancy you consult, consult your purse”
Benjamin Franklin

We don't live in that world anymore.”
