“... dělat jak blázen a do úmoru jen proto, abych se dopracoval zaslouženého odpočinku v pohodlí, to není chytré; ovšem nechtít mít pohodlí k odpočinku a nepracovat tudíž vůbec, to rovněž není chytré. A být pořád jenom chytrý a chtít všechno vědět a mít všechno, to je vlastně hloupost. Největší hloupost pak jest chtít být hloupý. To je ovšem divná hloupost, protože vědět, co chtít, to je vůbec největší chytrost. Čili, ono se stalo uměním už jenom být živ po svém.”
― Jan Werich, Fimfárum

“All adults have days when we feel completely drained. When we no longer know quite what we spend so much time fighting for, when reality and everyday worries overwhelm us and we wonder how much longer we’re going to be able to carry on. The wonderful thing is that we can all live through far more days like that without breaking than we think. The terrible thing is that we never know exactly how many.”
― Fredrik Backman, Beartown

“The evil in the world comes almost always from ignorance, and goodwill can cause as much damage as ill-will if it is not enlightened. People are more often good than bad, though in fact that is not the question. But they are more or less ignorant and this is what one calls vice or virtue, the most appalling vice being the ignorance that thinks it knows everything and which consequently authorizes itself to kill. The murderer's soul is blind, and there is no true goodness or fine love without the greatest possible degree of clear-sightedness.”
― Albert Camus, The Plague

“One of the best habits a learner can instill in herself is regular self-quizzing to recalibrate her understanding of what she does and does not know.”
