Douglas Adams
“For instance, on the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much—the wheel, New York, wars and so on—whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time.

Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy

Albert Einstein
“Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.”
Albert Einstein

Abraham Lincoln
“Folks are usually about as happy as they make their minds up to be.”
Abraham Lincoln
