Quote of the Week

From one of my quality management magazines:

“I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.”
–Robert McCloskey (1914-2003)

I love that quote. I memorized it when I was in high school. My trig teacher had it as a poster on the wall.

Great blog. I found it through Assistant Village Idiot.

I'm going to guess it was the other Robert McCloskey, the State Department guy (1922-96), not the children's author and illustrator.
