from the
“but i could be wrong” dictionary
Douglas William Jerrold (1803 – 1857
English dramatist and writer), who wrote (in St. Giles and St. James) my favorite definition of human arrogance, the quality belonging
to the one who “in the smug belief of its own election . . . looks upon its
fellow . . . as irrevocably lost.”
