Quotes by Martin Page (?)

“My personality is a luxury that's costing me too dearly.”
― Martin Page, How I Became Stupid

31 likes

“When we try to understand something, more often than not, we kill it, and now I can feel the dangers of this encroaching on me: cynicism, bitterness, and infinite sadness...It's impossible to live if you're too aware, too thoughtful. Take nature for example: everything that lives happily and too a ripe old age is not very intelligent. Tortoises live for centuries, water's immortal, and Milton Friedman's still alive.”
― Martin Page, How I Became Stupid

“Ploaia este cuvântul de recunoaștere printre cei ispitiți de o oarecare suspendare a lumii. Să spui că îți place ploaia înseamnă să te recunoști diferit.”
― Martin Page, De la pluie
