Sir Arnold Bax, Farewell my Youth (1943) quotes
"A sympathetic Scot summed it all up very neatly in the remark, You should make a point of trying every experience once, excepting incest and folk dancing."
There are many fine ideals which are not realisable, and yet we do not refrain from teaching them.
The ability to focus attention on important things is a defining characteristic of intelligence.
"A sympathetic Scot summed it all up very neatly in the remark, You should make a point of trying every experience once, excepting incest and folk dancing."
