I have found some of the best reasons I ever had for remaining at the bottom simply by looking at the men at the top.

"Clever people seem not to feel the natural pleasure of bewilderment, and are always answering questions when the chief relish of a life is to go on asking them."

"Men will confess to treason, murder, arson, false teeth, or a wig. How many of them will own up to a lack of humor?"

I know of no more disagreeable situation than to be left feeling generally angry without anybody in particular to be angry at.
