It would be my duty to study that I might help him. There would be nothing trivial about our lives. Everyday-things with us would mean the greatest things.
George Eliot, Middlemarch
Talking nonsense is the sole privilege mankind possesses over other organisms. It’s by talking nonsense that one gets to the truth! I talk nonsense, therefore I’m human. Not one single truth has ever been arrived at without people first having talked a dozen reams of nonsense.
Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Crime And Punishment
