“Out of damp and gloomy days, out of solitude, out of loveless words directed at us, conclusions grow up in us like fungus: one morning they are there, we know not how, and they gaze upon us, morose and gray. Woe to the thinker who is not the gardener but only the soil of the plants that grow in him.”
Friedrich Nietzsche

“He was a dreamer, a thinker, a speculative philosopher...or, as his wife would have it, an idiot.”
Douglas Adams
“If only our great thinkers could learn to talk, and our great talkers could learn to think”
Ashleigh Brilliant
“Only he is an emancipated thinker who is not afraid to write foolish things.”
Anton Chekhov
“I've posed nude for a photographer in the manner of Rodin's Thinker, but I merely looked constipated.”
George Bernard Shaw

Anthony Burgess
