“The scholar only knows how dear these silent, yet eloquent, companions of pure thoughts and innocent hours become in the season of adversity. When all that is worldly turns to dross around us, these only retain their steady value. When friends grow cold, and the converse of intimates languishes into vapid civility and commonplace, these only continue the unaltered countenance of happier days, and cheer us with that true friendship which never deceived hope, nor deserted sorrow.”
― Geoffrey Crayon, The Sketch-Book of Geoffrey Crayon

“What a dim-witted slug the average human being is.”
― Mark Twain, Life on the Mississippi
