"[...] our confidence in foretelling and influencing events increases in inverse ratio to our ability to do so. The farther we go from ourselves and from the present, the less we sense the probabilities, and it is easy for us to be "dead certain" about things we cannot possibly know anything about."
"During all my wandering through two decades and two continents, Ive found nothing more pathetic than the universal misery of young boys trying to charm young girls."
"Strange as it may seem, no amount of learning can cure stupidity, and formal education positively fortifies it."
