literature | The World of English

The end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time. Thomas Stearns Eliot ~ We are all born ignorant, but one must work hard to remain stupid. Benjamin Franklin ~ The most intelligent recedes. The world domination of stupidity is based on this sad truth. Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach ~ Creativity can solve almost any problem. The creative act, the defeat of habit by originality, overcomes everything. George Lois ~ Three things are needed to be happy: to be imbecile, to be selfish and to have good health. But if you miss the first, everything is over. Gustave Flaubert ~ Life and art are nothing but associations of ideas and sorrows that nourish our illusory quest for the Holy Grail of the human existence. Carl William Brown
