good one

As much as I agree with quote, I know enough unreasonable people. I shudder at thought of what they would consider progress.

 

Wonderful pen. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful pen, I just received mine from MB service today, I should ink it up and write away!

 

Thanks for sharing!

The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.

nice pen and good quote

[janykiel]

This pen is a monster. Is it comfortable to write?

[de_pen_dent]

Very nice - this is one of those amusing quotes which actually contains a lot more depth than implied at first read. The other one I like along these lines is "Consistency is the hobgoblin of small minds" by Emerson.

 

Thanks for sharing - and what paper is that, btw?

[cnjackson]

The Emerson is actually a little different--"A FOOLISH consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds"--and this refines the sense of it.

Ah, interesting. I have always recalled it without the "foolish" part, for some reason. That still seems more profound, though... adding foolish makes it a little, well, obvious!

A similarly oft MISquoted quote: "Money is the root of all evil" vs " The love of money is the root of all evil".

It took me a little while to get used to it, but yes. I perfer to write with it uncapped, for my hand it helps it lay in my hand better.

That one always makes me smile...I do however, have the sense of humor of a 5 year old

Hehe, we're in the same preschool then, I guess By the way, mine is an EF too, bought during the fall of 1994, and when gently asked, it flexes up to B. How old is yours, and how does it behave ?

I have had the pen for around two years now, I just recently got the EF on it I. I have noticed it is a bit scrachy at times, but I switched to Noodles Heart of Darkness and it seemed to fix that problem. My only complaint I have with it is sometimes after I fill it when I go to use it again it looks as if it threw up in the cap, thus causing a few choice words to be expelled. Other that that, I love it.
