"I said that if I, or any other wise, intelligent, and experienced person, should suddenly throw down the walls that protect and conceal his real opinions on almost any subject under the sun, it would at once be perceived that he had lost his intelligence and his wisdom and ought to be sent to the asylum." – Mark Twain

"The sin which in English is called Sloth is insidious, and assumes such Protean shapes that it is rather difficult to define. It is not merely idleness of mind and laziness of body: it is that whole poisoning of the will which, beginning with indifference and an attitude 'I couldn't care less,' extends to the deliberate refusal of joy and culminates in morbid introspection and despair." - Dorothy L. Sayers
