The Amount Of Noise Which Anyone Can Bear Undisturbed Stands In Inverse
Proportion To His Mental Capacity, And May Therefore Be Regarded As A
Pretty Fair Measure Of It.
The amount of noise which anyone can bear undisturbed stands in inverse
proportion to his mental capacity, and may therefore be regarded as a
pretty fair measure of it.... Noise is a torture to all intellectual
people.
-- Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860)
