Considered Light

Famous quotes containing the words considered and/or light:

“To accuse another of having weak kidneys, lungs, or heart, is not a crime; on the contrary, saying he has a weak brain is a crime. To be considered stupid and to be told so is more painful than being called gluttonous, mendacious, violent, lascivious, lazy, cowardly: every weakness, every vice, has found its defenders, its rhetoric, its ennoblement and exaltation, but stupidity hasn’t.”
—Primo Levi (1919–1987)

“Spades take up leaves
No better than spoons,
And bags full of leaves
Are light as balloons.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
