“I loathe the expression “What makes him tick.” It is the American mind, looking for simple and singular solution, that uses the foolish expression. A person not only ticks, he also chimes and strikes the hour, falls and breaks and has to be put together again, and sometimes stops like an electric clock in a thunderstorm.”
— James Thurber
“Better to ask forgivness than permission”
— Victor the Gargoyle, The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996)
