“It is to the credit of human nature, that, except where its selfishness is brought into play, it loves more readily than it hates.

― Nathaniel Hawthorne, The Scarlet Letter

“Oh, Adam’s sons, how cleverly you defend yourselves against all that might do you good!”

“Now the trouble about trying to make yourself stupider than you really are is that you very often succeed.”
