Here are a few quotes to do with left handedness. The first and last ones are my faves:
“The right half of the brain controls the left half of the body. This means that only left handed people are in their right mind.”
Anonymous
“Damned infernal gizmo. My kingdom for a left-handed can opener.”
Mr Burns, The Simpsons
“To be hated cordially, is only a left-handed compliment.”
Herman Melville
Reason is our soul’s left hand, Faith her right.”
John Donne
As you’re driving your carriage along;
If you go on the left, you are sure to be right,
If you go to the right you are wrong,”
Anonymous English rhyme, 19th century
George Bernard Shaw
Ursula K Le Guin from The Left Hand of Darkness
Bible: Judges 20 v 15
Irish saying
“Left-handers are wired into the artistic half of the brain, which makes them imaginative, creative, surprising, ambiguous, exasperating, stubborn, emotional, witty, obsessive, infuriating, delightful, original, but never, never, dull.”
James T deKay and Sandy Huffaker from The World’s Greatest Left-Handers: Why Left-Handers are Just Plain Better than Everybody Else
