Few persons realize how much of their happiness is dependent upon their work, upon the fact that they are busy and not left to feed upon themselves.

Computers are so deeply stupid. What bother me most when they talk about technology is they don't realize how much more exciting their minds are. That machine is stupid. And boring.

Realize that true happiness lies within you. Waste no time and effort searching for peace and contentment and joy in the world outside.
