Quote by Steven Wright

I went camping and borrowed a circus tent by mistake. I didn't notice until I got it set up. People complained because they couldn't see the lake.

Summary

This quote humorously highlights a comical misunderstanding and the consequences that follow. The speaker unintentionally ended up with a circus tent instead of a regular camping tent and only realized their mistake after setting it up. The tent's large size obstructed the view of the nearby lake, leading to complaints from others. This serves as a lighthearted explanation of how a seemingly trivial error can result in unexpected and amusing outcomes.

The student is half afraid to meet one of the great philosophers face to face. He feels himself inadequate and thinks he will not understand him. But if he only knew, the great man, just because of his greatness, is much more intelligible than his modern commentator. The simplest student will be able to understand, if not all, yet a very great deal of what Plato said; but hardly anyone can understand some modern books on Platonism.
