We’re very familiar with the idea that some things are so complex they’re beyond our comprehension. This not only keeps us solving and experimenting but also distracted. Many things are really so simple we can’t see them under our big noses Picture Quote #1

Pretentiousness isn’t always just big words and meaningless jargon, but also pretty words that either when put into action don’t mean beans or hurt you in the long run. Oftentimes, the former appeals to the intellect whereas the latter appeals to the heart Picture Quote #1

The trouble with poetry is it’s often written to the sound of a drum only the poet may hear; nonetheless, blessed are those poets who always manage to find unshakeable pleasure in their own works Picture Quote #1

Never take advice about never taking advice. That is an old vice of men - to dish it out without being able to take it - the blind leading the blind into more blindness Picture Quote #1

Liberalism, contrary to popular belief, is facing backward in considering the injustice of its ancestors. Conservatism, contrary to popular belief, is facing forward in considering the psychology of its descendants. Definitively, it seems in the modern world that neither side really knows which direction it’s facing, and men of the sharpest judgment are simply turned off from picking either of the poisons Picture Quote #1

Pride is born as a mountaintop on a valley, but dies as an abyss in which it is too deep and too dark to see the better Picture Quote #1

All things remarkable are surprisingly simple; albeit difficult to find Picture Quote #1

Children are the most reasonable about discipline. When they tell you not to do something, it’s always because they know why Picture Quote #1
