No lower can a man descend than to interpret his dreams into gold and silver.

And not only the pride of intellect, but the stupidity of intellect. And, above all, the dishonesty, yes, the dishonesty of intellect. Yes, indeed, the dishonesty and trickery of intellect.

Leo Tolstoy

The trouble with some women is they get all excited about nothing, and then they marry him.

The bookful blockhead ignorantly read,With loads of learned lumber in his head,With his own tongue still edifies his ears,And always list'ning to himself appears.All books he reads, and all he reads assails.

Jonathan Sacks

You know, I hate to give advice because my life has been so odd that almost nothing that's happened to me can apply.

Thomas Jefferson

Suicide may also be regarded as an experiment -- a question which man puts to Nature, trying to force her to answer. The question is this: What change will death produce in a man's existence and in his insight into the nature of things? It is a clumsy experiment to make; for it involves the destruction of the very consciousness which puts the question and awaits the answer.

Arthur Schopenhauer
