#Insight

"Despair is the price one pays for setting oneself an impossible aim. It is, one is told, the unforgivable sin, but it is a sin the corrupt or evil man never practices. He always has hope. He never reaches the freezing-point of knowing absolute failure. Only the man of goodwill carries always in his heart this capacity for damnation."

"To know a man's library is, in some measure, to know a man's mind."

"Humor is the affectionate communication of insight."

"Science is the process that takes us from confusion to understanding..."

"My father once told me that it’s not enough for a man to be lucky; that a guy has to know when that streak is on for him."

"I would rather be able to appreciate things I cannot have than to have things I am not able to appreciate."

"A point of view can be a dangerous luxury when substituted for insight andunderstanding."
