“The wise man knows that it is better to sit on the banks of a remote mountain stream than to be emperor of the whole world.”
“The mad rarely know that they are mad. It's the rest of the world, I think, that seems insane to them.”
“It is better to have God over your shoulder, than carry the world alone on your back.”
“Sometimes the dying live more fiercely and wisely than the rest of us. (146)”
