Alastair Pilkington
“Furious activity is no substitute for analytical thought.”
Alastair Pilkington

Edgar Allan Poe
“Between ingenuity and the analytic ability there exists a difference far greater, indeed, than that between the fancy and the imagination, but of a character very strictly analogous. It will be found, in fact, that the ingenious are always fanciful, and the truly imaginative never otherwise than analytic.”
Edgar Allan Poe, The Murders in the Rue Morgue
