Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
"Le persone non stupide sottovalutano sempre il potenziale nocivo delle persone stupide; dimenticano costantemente che in qualsiasi momento e luogo, e in qualunque circostanza, trattare o associarsi con individui stupidi costituisce infallibilmente un costoso errore."
Carlo M. Cipolla
"Hay un tipo de tristeza que viene de saber demasiado, de ver el mundo como realmente es. Es la tristeza de entender que la vida no es una gran aventura, sino una serie de pequeños, insignificantes momentos, que el amor no es un cuento de hadas, sino una emoción frágil y fugaz, que la felicidad no es un estado permanente, sino una rara y fugaz vista de algo que nunca podremos sostener. Y en ese entendimiento, hay una profunda soledad, una sensación de estar aislado del mundo, de otras personas, de uno mismo."
Virginia Woolf
"I believe in truth and I believe in saying what I think. Why not? Why do you have to whisper all the time or play games with people? I don't believe in that. So I'm not the most beloved person in the world. You have to know that. There are plenty of people who don't like me at all, I'm sure of that. But I wasn't put on earth to be liked. I have my own reasons for being and my own sense of what is important and what isn't, and I'm not going to change that."
Lauren Bacall
