I am afraid. Not of life, or death, or nothingness, but of wasting it as if I had never been. - Daniel Keyes

My most absorbing interests at the present time are etymologies of ancient languages, the newer works on the calculus of variations, and Hindu history. It's amazing the way things, apparently disconnected, hang together.

Intelligence alone doesn't mean a damned thing. Here in your university, intelligence, education, knowledge, have all become great idols. But I know now there's one thing you've all overlooked: intelligence and education that hasn't been tempered by human affection isn't worth a damn.

There are a lot of people who will give money or materials, but very few who will give time and affection.
