“If you want to make a good impression in society, you have to submit to being told all sorts of things you already know by people who don’t even know them themselves.”
Nicolas-Sébastien Roch de Chamfort, Reflections on Life, Love and Society, tr. & ed. by Douglas Parmée (London: Short Books, 2003), §165, p.84.
