“It is not, truly speaking, the labour that is divided; but the men: divided into mere segments of men—broken into small fragments and crumbs of life, so that all the little piece of intelligence that is left in a man is not enough to make a pin, or a nail, but exhausts itself in making the point of a pin or the head of a nail.”
—John Ruskin (1819–1900)
“Never stay up on the barren heights of cleverness, but come down into the green valleys of silliness.”
—Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)
