Random quote of the day:


"[Common sense], if not a sun, is at least a fixed star."

—Fernan Caballero, Elia; or, Spain Fifty Years Ago (1849)







Photobucket




Translated elsewhere as:

If common sense has not the brilliancy of the sun, it has the fixity of the stars.


Fernan Caballero is the pseudonym of Caecilia Böhl de Faber, 1796-1877.
