We are tainted by modern philosophy which has taught us that all is good, whereas evil has polluted everything and in a very real sense all is evil, since nothing is in its proper place.
Joseph de Maistre

We say that someone occupies an official position, whereas it is the official position that occupies him.
Georg C. Lichtenberg
