Famous Quotes / Lady Mary Wortley Montagu
Lady Mary Wortley Montagu: "I have all my life been on my guard against the information conveyed by the sense of hearing -- it being one of my earliest observations, the universal inclination of humankind is to be led by the ears, and I am sometimes apt to imagine that they are given to men as they are to pitchers: purposely that they may be carried about by them."
