During this weekend I came across this quote; "The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding onself in the ranks of the insane" However when I read this to someone, they asked where the comma was. I beleive the worry was that what I said was "The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority but to escape, finding onself in the ranks of the insane" I leave you to draw your own conclusions….. Bonus points if you can give the source of the quote |

Shouldn't the 2nd coma be a semi colon? |
