Dove la moralit? Ã¨ troppo forte l'intelletto perisce.

Summary

This quote, attributed to Friedrich Nietzsche, translates to "Where morality is too strong, intellect perishes." In this statement, Nietzsche suggests that a dominating sense of morality can obstruct intellectual growth and hinder independent thinking. He contrasts an individual's adherence to social norms and ethical codes with the development of one's intellectual capacities. Nietzsche implies that an excessive focus on morality can prevent individuals from questioning, challenging, and expanding their understanding, leading to a potential stifling of knowledge and ideas.

Nothing you do for children is ever wasted. They seem not to notice us, hovering, averting our eyes, and they seldom offer thanks, but what we do for them is never wasted.

Estate agents. You can't live with them, you can't live with them. The first sign of these nasty purulent sores appeared round about 1894. With their jangling keys, nasty suits, revolting beards, moustaches and tinted spectacles, estate agents roam the land causing perturbation and despair. If you try and kill them, you're put in prison: if you try and talk to them, you vomit. There's only one thing worse than an estate agent but at least that can be safely lanced, drained and surgically dressed. Estate agents. Love them or loathe them, you'd be mad not to loathe them.

I think that a particle must have a separate reality independent of the measurements. That is an electron has spin, location and so forth even when it is not being measured. I like to think that the moon is there even if I am not looking at it.
