“Pessimism is only the name that men of weak nerves give to wisdom.” — Bernard DeVoto Quote

“Pessimism is only the name that men of weak nerves give to wisdom.”

“The proper union of gin and vermouth is a great and sudden glory; it is one of the happiest marriages on earth, and one of the shortest lived.”

“The mind has its own logic but does not often let others in on it.”

“I don't travel very well: people get on my nerves.”

“I don't really play off nerves. I just want to win.”

“Miz and I have known each other for a long time, and we really know, like, how to get at each other's nerves.”
