        We don't experience tedium because most of these quotes lack pretension. Do you feel quotes by Will Rogers, Bob Dylan or Satchel Paige are full of pretension?

        No..I suppose you're right Bansai. I could cheerfully do without some of Ben Franklin's and H.L. Mencken"s quotes even if I don't consider them pretentious.

        And when you consider that Einstein is Einstein, and not the guy who cleans your pool or bags your groceries, his quotes seem pretty unpretentious, too.

                    Ergo, Enrico Caruso was not artistic. He didn't write the operas he sang.

                              Then why did they cloister monks in Medieval times? (And, actually, this practice continues in the 21st Century)
