Quote by Josh Billings

Knowledge is like money: the more he gets, the more he craves.

Knowledge is like money: the more he gets, the more he crave

Summary

This quote implies that, similar to how a person's desire for money increases with each sum they acquire, the thirst for knowledge grows as one acquires more knowledge. The more someone learns and discovers, the more they become aware of the vast depths of knowledge yet to be explored. It suggests that knowledge is an insatiable pursuit, as the more one knows, the more they realize how much there is still to learn, fueling their desire to seek further knowledge and understanding.

You have to have enough respect for other human beings to leave their lives alone. If you admire that life, build it for yourself. Don't just try to come in and take somebody else's life.

In a few more days I'd anticipated telling Veronika that our injections had cured her heart condition. But in light of her unscheduled departure form Villette my telling that particular lie will not be required. The majority of people who attempt suicide repeat that attempt until they succeed. I took a risk in lying to her about her condition, i decided to test the only remedy i have come to have any faith in: awareness of life. Until she finds out from some other doctor that she is perfectly healthy. She'll consider each day a miracle. Which in my view it is.
