One problem with the Miller quote is that it is a rather banal tautology, equally true at almost any time or any place in recorded history. It's got about as much bite as "Oh that tiger scares me." It has a nice prose rhythm, but nice prose rhythms are plentiful, and can be found with less banal content.
