some thoughts on fashion and intelligence

August Luchet: Last briefly and change often, appear rather than be—that is what suffices.

Errol Flynn: My problem lies in reconciling my gross habits with my net income.

Bulwer-Lytton: The world considers eccentricity in great things genius, in small things folly.

HonorĂ© de Balzac: In order to be fashionable, one must enjoy rest without having experienced work… Like steam engines, men regimented by work all look alike… The man instrument is a social zero.

‘If you want your children to be intelligent,
read them fairy tales.
If you want them to be very intelligent,
read them more fairy tales…’ — Einstein.

ha! now I have it under control.
