Italo Svevo

No man but a blockhead

ever wrote except for money.

-Dr. Samuel Johnson, lexicographer (September 18, 1709 –December 13, 1784),

A labor lawyer and admitted blockhead. Not to be confused with the real Italo Svevo. I also make edits as User:Zeno Cosini and User:24.126.41.116 and once as User:66.123.118.26. The real Italo Svevo (and the not so real Zeno Cosini) would have found something appealing in those sequences of numbers.

A gentleman is never

unintentionally rude.

-Oscar Fingal O'Flahertie Wills Wilde (October 16, 1854 – November 30, 1900) My apologies to anyone whom I have insulted unintentionally.
