que nunca me pude tomar en serio

from Patrick O'Brian's "Master and Commander"
.
...it appears to me that this is a critical time for him... a time that will settle him in that particular course he will never leave again, but will persevere in for the rest of his life.
.
It has often seemed to me that towards this period (mid twenties) men strike out their permanent characters; or have those characters struck into them. Merriment, roaring high spirits before this: then some chance concatenation, or some hidden predilection (or rather inherent bias) working through, and the man is in the road he cannot leave bust must go on, making it deeper and deeper (a groove, or channel), until he is lost in his mere character -persona- no longer human, but an accretion of qualities belonging to this character.
.
James Dillon was a delightful being. Now he is closing in. It is odd -will I say heartbreaking?- how cheerfulness goes: gaiety of mind, natural free-springing joy. Authority is its great enemy - the assumption of authority. I know few men over fifty that seem to me entirely human: virtually none who has long exercised authority.

What?

Is psychology a vice?
.
.
.
I want, once and for all,
not to know many things.
Wisdom requires moderation in knowledge
as in other things.

Ira, how about you? You know English better than the others, you speak it almost as well as I do."
"I speak it better than you do, Gramp; I speak it grammatically, which you do not."
"Don’t praggle me, boy; I’ll quang you proper. Shakespeare and I never let grammar interfere with expressing ourselves.

.
If the human animal has any value at all, he is too valuable to be property. If he has any inner dignity, he is much too proud to own other men. I don’t give a damn how scrubbed and perfumed he may be, a slaveowner is subhuman.
.
.
The trouble with defining in words anything as basic as love is that the definition can’t be understood by anyone who has not experienced it. It’s like the ancient dilemma of explaining a rainbow to a person blind from birth.

...Lazarus sighed again. "Ira, do you know the ancient Chinese ideogram for ‘trouble’?"
I admitted that I did not.
"Don’t bother to guess. It’s ‘Two Women Under One Roof.’
.
.
...Don’t ever become a pessimist, Ira; a pessimist is correct oftener than an optimist, but an optimist has more fun— and neither can stop the march of events.

pearls of wisdom R. Heinlein Lazarus Long

"I didn’t mean to sound smug, Grandfather. I get up early from long habit—the habit of work. But I don’t say it’s a virtue."
.
"Which? Work? Or early rising? Neither is a virtue. But getting up early does not get more work done…any more than you can make a piece of string longer by cutting off one end and tying it onto the other. You get less work done if you persist in getting up yawning and still tired. You aren’t sharp and make mistakes and have to do it over. That sort of busy-busy is wasteful. As well as unpleasant. And annoying to those who would sleep late if their neighbors weren’t so noisily active at some ungodly cow-milking hour. Ira, progress doesn’t come from early risers—progress is made by lazy men looking for easier ways to do things."
