Lin Yutang
“Those who are wise won't be busy, and those who are too busy can't be wise.”
Lin Yutang, The Importance of Living

Patrick Rothfuss
“It's the questions we can't answer that teach us the most. They teach us how to think. If you give a man an answer, all he gains is a little fact. But give him a question and he'll look for his own answers.”
Patrick Rothfuss, The Wise Man's Fear
