Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
“The human race is a monotonous affair. Most people spend the greatest part of their time working in order to live, and what little freedom remains so fills them with fear that they seek out any and every means to be rid of it.”
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, The Sorrows of Young Werther

“An intelligent person can rationalize anything; a wise person doesn't try.”
Jen Knox, Chaos Magic

René Descartes
“I suppose therefore that all things I see are illusions; I believe that nothing has ever existed of everything my lying memory tells me. I think I have no senses. I believe that body, shape, extension, motion, location are functions. What is there then that can be taken as true? Perhaps only this one thing, that nothing at all is certain.”
Rene Descartes

Douglas Adams
“Rather than arriving five hours late and flustered, it would be better all around if he were to arrive five hours and a few extra minutes late, but triumphantly in command.”
Douglas Adams, The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul

Viktor E. Frankl
“Happiness cannot be pursued; it must ensue.”
Viktor E. Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning
