The educated do not share a common body of information, but a common state of mind.
From Mason Cooley
Fears and lies intensify consciousness.
Many gloat over their own troubles.
Cruelty is softened by fear, not pity.
Eternity eludes us, even as a thought.
A blunt statement can be as false as any other.
Amazing that the human race has taken enough time out from thinking about food or sex to create the arts and sciences.
Old and young disbelieve one another's truths.
If beggars do not hate the rest of us, they are even more abject than I had imagined.
Mind and body obstruct one another's pleasures.
