-- Attributed to Prince William Henry, Duke of Gloucester and Edinburgh, 1781, upon receiving the second (or third, or possibly both) volume(s) of The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire from the author. I recently purchased a pristine copy of Thinking Fast and Slow (just a couple of years behind everyone). I expect to find it stimulating, and will consider penciling some impressions into the white spaces."Scribble" is a word that diminishes...
That's true, and reminds me of a favorite quote:"Another damned thick book! Always scribble, scribble, scribble! Eh, Mr. Gibbon?"
