| 443 | Insults | unknown | I envy those who have yet to meet you. Shakespeare "I wish we could become better strangers" "my days of not taking you seriously are certainly coming to a middle." “I can explain it to you, but I can’t understand it for you.” As an outsider, what is your perspective on intelligence? “I don’t have the time nor the crayons to explain this to you.” I envy everyone you have never met. |

| 445 | — | John Williams in Augustus | The young man, who does not know the future, sees life as a kind of epic adventure, an Odyssey through strange seas and unknown islands, where he will test and prove his powers, and thereby discover his immortality. The man of middle years, who has lived the future that he once dreamed, sees life as a tragedy; for he has learned that his power, however great, will not prevail against those forces of accident and nature to which he gives the names of gods, and has learned that he is mortal. But the man of age, if he plays his assigned role properly, must see life as a comedy. For his triumphs and his failures merge, and one is no more the occasion for pride or shame than the other; and he is neither the hero who proves himself against those forces, nor the protagonist who is destroyed by them. |

| 446 | — | someone | I am reminded of various quotes throughout my life:
(1) Leads to humans always gravitating towards an explanation that reliefs them from thinking. Simple, short, populist messages are perfect for that. (2) Has us end discussions before we even get to talk about what to do. (3) Has us make feel good when we can "beat" up someone else on social media. IMHO, it is bringing these three together in social media, and more importantly doing so mostly subconsciously, that makes this so toxic. |

| 447 | — | Gentleman in Moscow | ...had governed polite society since the Age of Chivalry. Not only did she know the flower that should be sent as an apology, she knew which flower to send when one has been late; when one has spoken out of turn; and when, having taking notice of the young lady at the door, one has carelessly overtrumped one’s partner. In short, Fatima knew a flower’s fragrance, color, and purpose better than a bee.
