I was reading an interview with David Pratt, author of The Impossible Takes Longer: The 1,000 Wisest Things Ever Said by Nobel Prize Laureates, and he mentions two favorite quotes of his…
Quote #1:
I started collecting quotations by Nobel Prize Winners after reading Winston Churchill’s saying “A fanatic is one who can’t change his mind and won’t change the subject.”
Quote #2:
But I suppose one of my very favorites is by the French writer Anatole France, “I have always preferred the folly of the passions to the wisdom of indifference.”
So which do you think Pratt would prefer - a passionate fanatic, or an indifferent subject-changer?
