Crazy Wisdom

[Dhalgren150]

They are all fools who seem so, as well as half the rest.
Folly arose with the world, and if there be any wisdom it is folly compared with the divine. But the greatest fool is he who thinks he is not one and all others are. To be wise it is not enough to seem wise, least of all to seem so to oneself. He knows who does not think that he knows, and he does not see who does not see that others see. Though all the world is full of fools, there is no one who thinks himself one, or even suspects the fact.

A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.

[Dhalgren150]

You are a child of the Universe
no less than the trees
and the stars
you have a right to be here.
And no matter
whether or not it is clear to you
no doubt
the Universe is unfolding as it should

I think the first virtue is to restrain the tongue; he approaches nearest to gods who knows how to be silent, even though he is in the right.

Wisdom doesn't automatically come with old age. Nothing does - except wrinkles. It's true, some wines improve with age. But only if the grapes were good in the first place. -Abigail Van Buren
