“Courts of law, and all the paraphernalia and folly of law cannot be found in a rational state of society.”
Robert Owen
“I prefer the folly of enthusiasm to the indifference of wisdom.”
Anatole France
“There are souls that are incurable and lost to the rest of society. Deprive them of one means of folly, they will invent ten thousand others. They will create subtler, wilder methods, methods that are absolutely DESPERATE. Nature herself is fundamentally antisocial, it is only by a usurpation of powers that the organized body of society opposes the natural inclination of humanity.”
Antonin Artaud
“But love is blind, and lovers cannot see The pretty follies that themselves commit, For if they could, Cupid himself would blush To see me thus transformed to a boy”
William Shakespeare
“Human folly does not impede the turning of the stars.”
Tom Robbins
“A law can be both economic folly and constitutional.”
Antonin Scalia
“Is there in all the history of human folly a greater fool than a clergymen in politics?”
Pat Robertson
