“People say strange things, the boy thought. Sometimes it's better to be with the
sheep, who don't say anything. And better still to be alone with one's books.
They tell their incredible stories at the time when you want to hear them. But
when you're talking to people, they say some things that are so strange that
you don't know how to continue the conversation.”
― The Alchemist

“Laughter, on the other hand, " Petrarch went on, "is an explosion that tears us away from the world and throws us back into our own cold solitude. Joking is a barrier between man and the world. Joking is the enemy of love and poetry. That's why I tell you yet again, and you want to keep in mind: Boccaccio doesn't understand love. Love can never be laughable. Love has nothing in common with laughter.”
