“People leave imprints on our lives, shaping who we become in much the same way that a symbol is pressed into the page of a book to tell you who it comes from. Dogs, however, leave paw prints on our lives and our souls, which are as unique as fingerprints in every way.”
― Ashly Lorenzana

“If everybody is thinking alike, then somebody isn't thinking.”
― George S. Patton

“There is nothing more dangerous than a woman with a shotgun. Because you don't know when it's going to go off...and neither does she.”
― Louis L'Amour

“No intelligent idea can gain general acceptance unless some stupidity is mixed in with it. Collective thought is stupid because it's collective. Nothing passes into the realm of the collective without leaving at the border--like a toll--most of the intelligence it contained.

In youth we're twofold. Our innate intelligence, which may be considerable, coexists with the stupidity of our inexperience, which forms a second, lesser intelligence. Only later on do the two unite. That's why youth always blunders - not because of its inexperience, but because of its non-unity.

Today the only course left for the man of superior intelligence is abdication.”
― Fernando Pessoa, The Book of Disquiet
