Douglas Adams
“My capacity for happiness," he added, "you could fit into a matchbox without taking out the matches first”
Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy

Douglas Adams
“One of the major difficulties Trillian experienced in her relationship with Zaphod was learning to distinguish between him pretending to be stupid just to get people off their guard, pretending to be stupid because he couldn't be bothered to think and wanted someone else to do it for him, pretending to be outrageously stupid to hide the fact that he actually didn’t understand what was going on, and really being genuinely stupid. He was renowned for being amazingly clever and quite clearly was so—but not all the time, which obviously worried him, hence, the act. He preferred people to be puzzled rather than contemptuous.”
Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy

Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi
“You are a lover of your own experience ... not of me ... you turn to me to feel ur own emotion”
Rumi, مثنوی معنوی

Bill Watterson
“Calvin: The more you know, the harder it is to take decisive action.
Once you are informed, you start seeing complexities and shades of gray.
You realize nothing is as clear as it first appears. Ultimately, knowledge is paralyzing.
Being a man of action, I cannot afford to take that risk.

Hobbes: You're ignorant, but at least you act on it.”
Bill Watterson, The Authoritative Calvin and Hobbes: A Calvin and Hobbes Treasury

Martha C. Nussbaum
“To be a good human being is to have a kind of openness to the world, an ability to trust uncertain things beyond your own control, that can lead you to be shattered in very extreme circumstances for which you were not to blame. That says something very important about the condition of the ethical life: that it is based on a trust in the uncertain and on a willingness to be exposed; it’s based on being more like a plant than like a jewel, something rather fragile, but whose very particular beauty is inseparable from that fragility.”
Martha Nussbaum
