Probably the reason this trick works so well is that when you have two choices and one is harder, the only reason you’re even considering the other is laziness. You know in the back of your mind what’s the right thing to do, and this trick merely forces you to acknowledge it.” -- Paul Graham
“Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.” -- Hanlon’s Razor
“I divide my officers into four classes; the clever, the lazy, the industrious, and the stupid. Each officer possesses at least two of these qualities. Those who are clever and industrious are fitted for the highest staff appointments. Use can be made of those who are stupid and lazy. The man who is clever and lazy however is for the very highest command; he has the temperament and nerves to deal with all situations. But whoever is stupid and industrious is a menace and must be removed immediately!” -- General Kurt von Hammerstein-Equord
“There’s no such thing as a human who doesn’t commit sin. It’s not like the world is divided into sinners and the innocent. There are only people who can and who cannot atone for their sins.” -- Ciel
“Simple stupidity is never enough. People need to pile stupidity on stupidity on stupidity.” -- Mark C. Chu-Carroll
