Hero of the Jolly Contrarian, First Class, for saying things like this:

“At no time in the past did anybody who had anything to do with the business of inventing or changing things ever know what the full effect of his actions would be. He just went ahead, and did what he did, for his own reasons: like we do. That’s how change comes about.”
