In the strangest places . . .

Found a great quote the other day from a very odd source.

"Tolerance is the result not of enlightenment, but of boredom."

This speaks to the constantly accelerating collapse of moral standards since World War I. What makes this so ironic as that the source of the quote is usually an apologist for all manner of collapsed morals: Quentin Crisp.

Found another one today, on my way back from a meeting at a Catholic hospital:

"Be Respectful. Is what you say kind, true and necessary?"

This was a gigantic sign over a portal from an area that's mainly used by hospital staff into a public space. A good reminder.
