"Cranks live by theory, not by pure desire.……" — Rose Macaulay

"Cranks live by theory, not by pure desire. They want votes, peace, nuts, liberty, and spinning-looms not because they love these things, as a child loves jam, but because they think they ought to have them. That is one element which makes the crank."

Rose Macaulay
