Sir, I admit to your general rule that every poet is a fool.
But you yourself may serve to show it that not every fool is a poet
(Alexander Pope)

"Kakvi su ljudi tamo! Zamislite, ne spavaju!"
"A Kako to?"
"Jer se ne umaraju."
"A kako to?"
"Jer su budale."
"Zar se budale ne umaraju?"
"Kako bi se budale mogle umoriti!"
(Franc Kafka, Deca na drumu)
