Frank Herbert, Chapterhouse Dune, Mentat Fixe

The judgemental precedents of law function that way, littering your path with dead ends. Be warned. Understand nothing. All comprehension is temporary.

We are here to add to the sum of human goodness. To prove the thing exists. And however futile each individual act of courage or generosity, self-sacrifice or grace-it still proves the thing exists. Each act adds to the fund. It needs replenishment. Not only because evil flourishes, and is, most indefensibly, defended. But because goodness is no longer a respectable aim in life. The hound of hell, envy, has driven it from the house.

Friedrich Nietzsche, The Dawn, Sec. 297

Jascha Heifetz
No matter what side of the argument you are on, you always find people on your side that you wish were on the other.

One must not be mean with the affections what is spent of the fund is renewed in the spending itself.
