17. You're too kind
Actually, GD could use a brief moratorium on arguments. Of course, that'll never happen.

Thanks for all you do, Magistrate.

41. Even a friendly conversation which cannot be at any given moment be broken off voluntarily...
. . . with complete arbitrariness has something illiberal about it.

An artist, however, who is able and wants to express himself completely, who keeps nothing to himself and would wish to say everything he knows, is very much to be pitied.

--Friedrich Von Schlegel (1772–1829), German philosopher. Aphorism 37 in Selected Aphorisms from the Lyceum (1797)
