“Who but a stupid barbarian could burn so much beauty in his stove and destroy that which he cannot make?”
Seagull • Anton Chekhov“Rational behavior ... depends upon a ceaseless flow of data from the environment. It depends upon the power of the individual to predict, with at least a fair success, the outcome of his own actions. To do this, he must be able to predict how the environment will respond to his acts. Sanity, itself, thus hinges on man's ability to predict his immediate, personal future on the basis of information fed him by the environment.”
Future Shock • Alvin Toffler“When... in the course of all these thousands of years has man ever acted in accordance with his own interests?”
Notes from Underground • Fyodor Dostoevski“For nothing is more democratic than logic; it is no respecter of persons and makes no distinction between crooked and straight noses.”
The Gay Science • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche“The reason why Proshka wore such large boots can be explained at once: Plyushkin kept only one pair of boots for all of his servants, however numerous they were, and they always stood in the hall.”
Dead Souls • Nikolai Gogol
