  • Sometimes murkiness of motives can be mistaken for intelligence.
  • Philosophers have an unfortunate habit of living a long time.
  • Socrates grunted. “It seems the future may be more barbaric than the present, at least as far as you are concerned. Maybe those who believe the golden age is behind us are right.”
