Herbert Henry Asquith, 1st Earl of Oxford and Asquith, in a speech in Parliament as "a saying of a witty Frenchman" Explanation separates us from astonishment, which is the only gateway to the incomprehensible. - Eugene Ionesco I fear explanations explanatory of things explained. - Abraham Lincoln For when any one explains himself guardedly, nothing is more uncivil than to put a new question. [Ger., Denn wenn sich Jemand versteckt erklart, so ist Nichts unhoflicher als eine neue Frage.] - Jean Paul Friedrich Richter (Johann Paul Richter) (used ps. Jean Paul), Hesperus (II)
