JULIET: Although I joy in thee,
I have no joy of this contract tonight.
It is too rash, too unadvised, too sudden,
Too like the lightning, which doth cease to be
Ere one can say “It lightens.”William Shakespeare (1564-1616) English dramatist and poet
Romeo and Juliet, Act 2, sc. 2, l. 123ff (2.2.123-127) (1595)Sourcing, notes: wist.info/shakespeare-william/…

When young, we trust ourselves too much, and we trust others too little when old. Rashness is the error of youth, timid caution of age.

Lacon: Or, Many Things in Few Words, Vol. 1, § 363 (1820)Sourcing, notes: wist.info/colton-charles-caleb…

A quotation from Pratchett, Terry:
«««««
Of course someone would be that stupid. Some humans would do anything to see if it was possible to do it. If you put a large switch in some cave somewhere, with a sign on it saying “End-of-the-World Switch. PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH,” the paint wouldn’t even have time to dry.
