Henry MillerEvery man with a bellyful of the classics is an enemy to the human race
About This Quote
The most important thing in life isn’t what you know, but who you know. In other words, it’s not what you know but who you know. The most important thing in life is who you know that does what you do. You can have the ability to do something, but if no one knows about it, then it’s useless.
It can be very dangerous to try and do something that no one else is doing.

So, if every man with a bellyful of the classics is an enemy to the human race, then how can we make sure that we are surrounded by those who will support us in our efforts?
