"Embi: And you're supposed to be so good at mending primuses, pastor Jon!

Pastor Jon: And correspondingly bad at Baroque art.

Embi: How do you know there are 133 pieces? Who has had time to dismantle this work of art so carefully? Or to count the bits?

Pastor Jon: No one is so busy that he hasn't the time to dismantle a work of art. Then scholars wake up and count the pieces. "
Halldór Kiljan Laxness (Under the Glacier)
