Follies are uniquely foolish
November 29, 2015
Folly's not half so bad as wisdom,
Which the ages chew to tasteless pulp.
All wisdom is alike
But follies are uniquely foolish.

Thinking about the feast of feste, the touch of touchstone, and the stuff of falstaff. I rarely memorize quotes from literature and society because I don't want my tongue to grow laggard and used to society's trite remarks and decontextualized "wisdom". Often satire is the best and wisest wisdom.
