"You could say that disorder is when nothing is in the right place. Whereas order is when in the right place, there is nothing at all." - Kalle, in Bertold Brecht's Refugee Conversations (Flüchtlingsgespräche), 1967

"There is abundant evidence to show that high buildings make people crazy.
High buildings have no genuine advantages, except in speculative gains for banks and land owners. They are not cheaper, they do not help create open space, they destroy the townscape, they destroy social life, they promote crime, they make life difficult for children, they are expensive to maintain, they wreck the open spaces near them, and they damage light and air and view. But quite apart from all of this, which shows that they aren't very sensible, empirical evidence shows that they can actually damage people's minds and feelings.
We wish to stress, however, that the seemingly one-sided concern with housing in the paragraphs which follow, is only apparent. The underlying phenomenon - namely, mental disorder and social alienation created by the height of buildings - occurs equally in housing and in workplaces.
The strongest evidence comes from D. M. Fanning ("Families in Flats," British Medical Journal, November 18, 1967, pp. 382-86). Fanning shows a direct correlation between incidence of mental disorder and the height of people's apartments. The higher people live off the ground, the more likely are they to suffer mental illness."

This has been one of my favorites for a long time. I remembered it as "the first thing you must know is that you know nothing" but I like the way you worded it better
It keeps one from being overly confident and judgemental

Quote:
Cory Duchesne said: Suspicion always haunts the guilty mind. Thomas Paine Suspicion is the companion of mean souls, and the bane of all good society. Robert Burns Suspicion is a heavy armor and with its weight it impedes more than it protects. Hosea Ballou Suspicion is far more to be wrong than right; more often unjust than just. It is no friend to virtue, and always an enemy to happiness. Joseph Addison Suspicion is not less an enemy to virtue than to happiness; he that is already corrupt is naturally suspicious, and he that becomes suspicious will quickly be corrupt.
I can't even tell ya how true this rings. I tied my wagon to a suspicious person a long time ago and thought they would eventually see things as they are...but that's never gonna happen.
It reminds me of another saying I remind myself of often: Those that can't trust, can't be trusted

"Taking criticism is an art in and of itself; indeed, it is the prerequisite to all other forms." - Unknown
"Do not mind criticism. If it is untrue: disregard it. If it is unfair: do not get angry at it. It if is ignorant: laugh with it. If it is justified it is not criticism: learn from it." - Unknown
"The point of criticism is to separate the wheat from the chaff, not to burn everything to the ground." - Jordan Peterson
"Criticism may not be agreeable, but it is necessary. It fulfills the same function as pain in the human body: it calls attention to an unhealthy state of things." - Winston Churchill
"Thou mayest extract an antidote out of a viper, and good out of an enemy. An enemy will tell thee more truly of thy imperfections than the best of friends will adventure to do, or that we ourselves would be able to discern. And this may be applied as precious balm, to heal the wounds our folly or oversight have given our reputation, by guarding our actions for the future - which is far better than to be flattered into pride and carelessness." - Thomas Fuller

"He (J. Krishnamurti) spent much of his life living in California, not far from Hollywood, and I think his life-story is a classic Hollywood tragedy, like Sunset Boulevard. A damaged child star gets trapped in the role he had created for himself, and ends up giving up real love for fan worship. It’s a tale of child abuse, trauma, ecstasy, celebrity, and, finally, loneliness." J. Krishnamurti, the lonely Hollywood Star
