By definition, risk-takers often fail. So do morons. In practice it's difficult to sort them out.

The fence around a cemetery is foolish, for those inside can't come out and those outside don't want to get in.
Arthur Brisbane
I was thinking about the first time I ever saw you,
he said,
and how after that I couldn't forget you. I wanted to, but I
couldn't stop myself. I forced Hodge to let me be the one who came to find you and bring you back to the Institue. And even back then,
in that stupid coffee shop, when I saw you sitting on that couch with Simon, even then that felt wrong to me-- I should have been the
one sitting with you. The one who made you laugh like that. I couldn't get rid of that feeling. That it should have been me. And the
more I knew you, the more I felt it--it had never been like that for me before. I'd always wanted a girl and then gotten to know her and not
wanted her anymore, but with you the feeling just got stronger and stronger until that night when you showed up at Renwick's and I knew.

Cassandra Clare
Great nations need organizing principles, and Don't do stupid stuff
is not an organizing principle.

To call you stupid would be an insult to stupid people. I've known sheep that could outwit you.
I've worn dresses with higher IQs. But you think you're an intellectual, don't you, ape?
Jamie Lee Curtis
Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.
Albert Einstein
Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone
can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid
person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life...You give them a piece of you. They didn't ask for it. They did
something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you
out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like maybe we should be just friends
turns into a glass splinter working its way into
your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It's a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love.
The Kindly Ones
Neil Gaiman
Oh, innocent victims of Cupid,
Remember this terse little verse;
To let a fool kiss you is stupid,
To let a kiss fool you is worse.
E. Y. Harburg
Genius may have its limitations, but stupidity is not thus handicapped.
Elbert Hubbard
Against stupidity the very gods themselves contend in vain.
Friedrich Schiller
The stupid neither forgive nor forget; the naive forgive and forget; the wise forgive but do not forget.
Thomas Szasz
Better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than to open it and remove all doubt.
Mark Twain
Last on Earth
