Marianne > Marianne's Quotes

“All of your good qualities become obscured by your super-cleverness and are made useless to the world merely because of your rage at wanting to know everything better than others; of wanting to improve and master what you cannot command … If you were less like you, you would only be ridiculous, but thus as you are, you are highly annoying.” (Johanna Schopenhauer, writing to her son, Arthur Schopenhauer)”
― Johanna Schopenhauer

“I never understood people who don't have bookshelves.”
― George Plimpton
