QUOTE OF THE WEEK
Educated People
“Educated people, in my opinion, should satisfy the following conditions: They respect the individual and therefore they are extremely tolerant, gentle, polite and compliant… They don't make a fuss about a hammer or a lost galosh… They forgive noise, cold, over cooked meat and jokes… They don't humiliate themselves with the aim of arousing somebody else's sympathy. They don't play on other people's heartstrings so as to be sighed and fussed over in return. They don't say: 'Nobody understands me!' or 'I've wasted my talents!'… They are not vain. They are not interested in such false treasures as acquaintance with celebrities. They cultivate their aesthetic sense. They are incapable of going to sleep in their clothes, of seeing bedbugs in a crack in the wall, of breathing foul air, of walking on a floor that has been slept on, of eating things cooked on a kerosene stove.”
