“A new idea is first condemned as ridiculous and then dismissed as trivial, until finally, it becomes what everybody knows.”
William James
“If one were to strip a person of the layers of outward masks and illusions and place them only in their own skin they would be overwhelmed with fear of the unknown. Know thyself and feed upon it's very existence, everything that needs to be known is within.”
Kat Morgan
“A commodity appears at first sight an extremely obvious, trivial thing. But its analysis brings out that it is a very strange thing, abounding in metaphysical subtleties and theological niceties.”
Karl Marx
“You should treat all disasters as if they were trivialities but never treat a triviality as if it were a disaster”
Quentin Crisp
“To do something, say something, see something, before anybody else - these are things that confer a pleasure compared with which other pleasures are tame and commonplace, other cheap and trivial”
Mark Twain
““A warrior takes responsibility for his acts, for the most trivial of acts. An average man acts out his thoughts, and never takes responsibility for what he does.””
Carlos Castaneda
“The Law of Triviality... briefly stated, it means that the time spent on any item of the agenda will be in inverse proportion to the sum involved.”
C. Northcote Parkinson
