Frequently Asked Questions

What's the common thread in these "fool" quotes?
They mostly explore self-doubt and honest self-assessment - writers worrying they're fooling themselves, and blunt advice about not overestimating (or underestimating) other people's intelligence.
Is there a quote about self-doubt in writing?
Yes - one quote captures it well: "The hardest thing about being an unpublished writer is that there's always that voice in your head that asks if you're really being a fool," followed by the equally candid admission, "You might just really stink and not know it."
Is there advice here about not underestimating your audience?
Yes - "It is unsafe to take your reader for more of a fool than he is," a reminder that talking down to your audience can backfire.
What's the quote about persistence and knowing when to stop?
"If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. Then quit. There's no point in being a damn fool about it." It's a funny twist on the usual persistence cliche, adding a practical limit to it.
Is there a quote distinguishing a "knave" from a "fool"?
Yes - "Very often, say what you will, a knave is only a fool," suggesting that dishonest or cunning behavior is often just foolishness in disguise. For related pages, see our Foolish quotes or Fools quotes.
