"Ecclesiastes 1:17: 'Then I applied myself to the understanding of wisdom, and also of madness and folly, but I learned that this, too, is a chasing after the wind.' 1:18: 'For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow.'"

"'Meaningless! Meaningless!' says the Teacher. 'Utterly meaningless! Everything is meaningless.' What do people gain from all their labors at which they toil under the sun? ... For with much wisdom comes much sorrow; the more knowledge, the more grief. Best book in the Old Testament IMHO."
