The most terrifying thing is what people do want. The only thing worse than being misquoted is not being quoted at all. I am merely inquisitive. Few people are capable of expressing with equanimity opinions which differ from the prejudices of their social environment.
Most people are even incapable of forming such opinions.
The important thing is not to stop questioning. When you are courting a nice girl an hour seems like a second. When you sit on a red-hot cinder a second seems like an hour. Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former. Knowledge is limited.
