It is a curious sensation: the sort of pain that goes mercifully beyond our powers of feeling. When your heart is broken, your boats are burned: nothing matters any more. It is the end of happiness and the beginning of peace.
George Bernard Shaw

But Don't Quote Me On This...
 

Heard this one or its variants on a number of occasions.
"Had I known that I would be living this many years, I would have taken better care of myself."

?That was Bob Hope on his 100th birthday, iirc.

More than likely, just the most "famous" to have said it.

Heard it from a mediocre standup comedian yesterday.

As societies grow decadent, the language grows decadent, too. Words are used to disguise, not to illuminate, action: you liberate a city by destroying it. Words are to confuse, so that at election time people will solemnly vote against their own interests. - Gore Vidal

So what's the flip side to, "those who can; do, and those who can't, teach?"

Quite frankly, teachers aren't paid enough! ;)

Or what about this one?

Richard Stallman: "Encountering other people without [Covid-19] vaccination is like driving a car without learning how to drive safely: it endangers oneself and others. Everyone who can get vaccinated has a duty to do so." (Sep-2021)

“But in Philosophy, a Student ought to doubt of the Things he fancies he understands too easily, as much of those he does not understand” (François-Marie Arouet, called Voltaire, ~ 1733)

Voltaire is fabulous. Philosophy, at that time *was* science and at the same time included what we call philosophy now. This specific letter concerns some of Isaac Newtons discoveries. In my opinion Voltaire's descriptions are a wonderful introduction to – and sums up very nicely – the scientific method which was introduced by Descartes, evolved but is more or less maintained until today.

So, my big brother was playing guitar and I figured I'd try it too. - Stevie Ray Vaughan
