A First-Rate Intelligence

The test of a first-rate intelligence

is the ability to hold

two opposed ideas

in mind at the same time

and still retain the ability

to function.

be able to see that

things are hopeless

and yet be determined

to make them otherwise.
F. Scott Fitzgerald

It is hope
which maintains most of mankind.
Sophocles
