I really love quotes. I have an entire wall in my room back home covered in quotes. So, I thought it would be a nice idea to compile an A-Z list of my favourite quotes and tell you a few words about why I love them. I’m going to do it by author’s first name to begin with and then if I feel like it, I’ll run through the alphabet again using something else because why not. Also, where the quote is from a book, I will use the name of the character who says it, not the author of the book.
I will try to make these a daily thing, but I can make no promises. As I go on, I will be linking to all the quotes here.
Today’s quote:
"Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the universe." - Albert Einstein
I’m not sure Einstein actually said this, but the internet seems to attribute it to him (the internet seems to attribute any quote of unknown origins to him) and I really like this quote and Einstein’s name conveniently starts with ‘A’, so I’ll go with it.
Turns out, whoever the author of this quote is, was right to question the infinity of the universe, because it is actually finite, but the quote doesn’t really lose much of its poignancy. Unfortunately, human stupidity really does seem to be a bottomless pit.
