All of us encounter, at least once in our life, some individual who utters words that make us think forever. There are men whose phrases are oracles; who condense in one sentence the secrets of life; who blurt out an aphorism that forms a character or illustrates an existence.
-- Benjamin Disraeli (1804-1881), British politician, novelist, essayist, and twice UK Prime Minister, Coningsby, Book III, Chapter 2 (1844)
