“Most men will not swim before they are able to.” Is that not witty? Naturally, they won't swim! They are born for the solid earth, not for the water. And naturally they wont think. They are made for life, not for thought. Yes, and he who thinks, what’s more, he who makes thought his business, he may go far in it, but he has bartered the solid earth for the water all the same, and one day he will drown.”
― Hermann Hesse, Steppenwolf

“In eternity there is no time, only an instant long enough for a joke.”
― Hermann Hesse, Steppenwolf

“Never put off till tomorrow what may be done day after tomorrow just as well.”
― Mark Twain

“If you don't know, the thing to do is not to get scared, but to learn.”
