Jiddu KrishnamurtiWe live in a bewildering world.

I mean is it gonna erode your ability, you know, to make money? Are you gonna somehow get confused about what you’re trying to do?

Vivienne WestwoodAs every divided kingdom falls, so every mind divided between many studies confounds and saps itself.
