Why does it so often take a genius to see the obvious?

Even a meaningless life may contain many good breakfasts.

If you don't like my opinion of you, you can always improve

In one sense, I have always felt glad to have had the war [World War II] in my childhood, because, as a result, nothing that has happened in the world since then has ever seemed quite so bad. On the other hand, I never entirely got over my feeling of being cheated when the promised era of peace in a wonderful "post-war world" failed to materialize. I could not understand how, after all that, people could ever even think of fighting again. And I still can't.

Just when I nearly had the answer, I forgot the question.

I want either less corruption, or more chance to participate in it.

The entire universe will eventually disintegrate but by then I hope to be in a safer place.
