“Intelligence is one of the greatest human gifts. But all too often a search for knowledge drives out the search for love. This is something else I've discovered for myself very recently. I present it to you as a hypothesis: Intelligence without the ability to give and receive affection leads to mental and moral breakdown, to neurosis, and possibly even psychosis. And I say that the mind absorbed in and involved in itself as a self-centered end, to the exclusion of human relationships, can only lead to violence and pain.”
― Daniel Keyes, Flowers for Algernon

“What is called a reason for living is also an excellent reason for dying.”

“P.S. please if you get a chanse put some flowrs on Algernons grave in the bak yard.”

“You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.”
