“My life which I dream will be so beautiful, so poetic, so vast, so filled with love will turn out to be like everybody else's - monotonous, sensible, stupid.”

“THOSE WHO THINK PEOPLE ARE STUPID ARE THE ONES THAT ARE STUPID.”

“There is no such thing as a stupid question. Just stupid people who ask questions.”
