Seriously Intelecktural Selections

Behold! This be the serious quote, some of which are indeed surprisingly interesting and should be thought about - could you perhaps inject some of these wise lines of delightfully intellectual prose into your life to enlighten your existence or are they just crap and you accidentally clicked onto the 'Serious Quotes' icon as you mistook it for 'Seriously Funny Quote'? (See even signage doesn't deter the ignorant!) Anyway, most of these I have failed who remember who indeed did compose them, my apologies, but the one who I did remember are in quotes and the authors follow underneath.

Ooh! Wait a sec, just a quick disclaimer thing to say that some of these refer to the singular, 'Man' or 'Men', reasoning is that some are old quotes when such was the norm - no disrespect intended...
