“Do not be guilty of possessing a library of learned books while lacking learning yourself.”
― Desiderius Erasmus

“Relationships are mysterious. We doubt the positive qualities in others, seldom the negative. You will say to your partner: do you really love me? Are you sure you love me? You will ask this a dozen times and drive the person nuts. But you never ask: are you really mad at me? Are you sure you’re angry? When someone is angry, you don’t doubt it for a moment. Yet the reverse should be true. We should doubt the negative in life, and have faith in the positive.”
― Christopher Pike, Remember Me

“The chief element of happiness is this: to want to be what you are.”
― Erasmus, Praise of Folly

“There are others who are rich only in wishes; they build beautiful air-castles and conceive that doing so is enough for happiness.”
― Desiderius Erasmus, Praise of Folly
