Three key quotes that everyone should know and take to heart. Because there are far to many people who think themselves smart, or 'wise', on this island, yet close themselves off to learning anything new about anyone or anything.

"The fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool."
-William Shakespeare

“To know that you do not know is the best. To pretend to know when you do not know is a disease.”
-Lao-Tzu

"The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing."
-Socrates

They all three say close to the same thing. And all three men knew what they said to be true about themselves.

My question is, are you going to die the fool? Or will you become wise before you die?

	This couldn't have been you. It didn't happen in your universe. Mine doesn't do that. The only thing that ever just... granted whatever you wished for was the [ ... ] cosmic cube. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That's insane. There's no way you did this. Even if it was, there was no way you could have known that this would happen. The cube -- it gives you what you want, but never the way you want it. It twists things. It makes you pay for them. But it couldn't have been you. So there's no point in even speculating. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	So for all intents and purposes, Oscar Wilde invented the... cube's plot device. I mean, we're all fictional, aren't we? That's -- that is what happened to me already once. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's happened to our people before. When Steve gave Bucky his memories back. When Lukin used the cube to... do whatever he was doing with the cube, I don't know. He ended up with the Red Skull inside of his head. But both times, they had to touch the cube. ~~I--~~ This couldn't have been what you wished for. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
