Aristotle
“The life of money-making is one undertaken under compulsion, and wealth is evidently not the good we are seeking; for it is merely useful and for the sake of something else.”
Aristotle, The Nicomachean Ethics

Dale Carnegie
“Personally I am very fond of strawberries and cream, but I have found that for some strange reason, fish prefer worms. So when I went fishing, I didn’t think about what I wanted. I thought about what they wanted. I didn't bait the hook with strawberries and cream. Rather, I dangled a worm or grasshopper in front of the fish and said: "Wouldn't you like to have that?"

Why not use the same common sense when fishing for people?”
Dale Carnegie, How to Win Friends & Influence People

Albert Camus
“One always has exaggerated ideas about what one doesn't know.”
Albert Camus, The Stranger

Albert Camus
“After awhile you could get used to anything.”
Albert Camus, The Stranger

Oscar Wilde
“You have killed my love. You used to stir my imagination. Now you don't even stir my curiosity. You simply produce no effect. I loved you because you were marvelous, because you had genius and intellect, because you realized the dreams of great poets and gave shape and substance to the shadows of art. You have thrown it all away. You are shallow and stupid.”
Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray
