“Some praise at morning what they blame at night,
But always think the last opinion right.
A Muse by these is like a mistress used,
This hour she's idolized, the next abused;
While their weak heads, like towns unfortified,
'Twixt sense and nonsense daily change their side.
Ask them the cause; they're wiser still they say;
And still to-morrow's wiser than to-day.”
― Alexander Pope, An Essay On Criticism

― Sam Harris, The End of Faith: Religion, Terror, and the Future of Reason

“I don't think I've become old. Just more aware of where the next lavatory is.”
― Terry Pratchett, The Last Hero

“It's hard to contemplate, in the grey hours of the night, that probably the only reason people would come to your funeral would be to make sure you're dead.”
― Terry Pratchett, The Sea and Little Fishes
