And they write innumerable books; being too vain and distracted for silence: seeking every one after his own elevation, and dodging his emptiness.
T. S. Eliot

T. S. Eliot

On the whole, human beings want to be good, but not too good, and not quite all the time.

George Orwell

George Orwell

John Locke

Now, I don't want to get off on a rant here, but guilt is simply God's way of letting you know that you're having too good a time.
Dennis Miller
