Commonly Quotes

History is a lie commonly agreed upon.
Oscar Wilde -

I think America is a really interesting place. In New Zealand, we don't sue each other really commonly. There's a really specific reason, like someone's arguing over a fence that's been put up that's too high. Sort of practical things. And journalists are rarely sued for things. Whereas in America, you have a culture where that's the first thing you do. There's an ongoing pattern here where if you've got money, you can bully other people into doing what you want them to do. You don't need to be in it to win, you just need to be in it to be a pest.
David Farrier -
What is commonly called a pest is nature's way of bringing back into balance an imbalance that man has created.
Alan Chadwick
