Friedrich Nietzsche
Human all to human II, Mixed Opinions and Maxims
335 Warmth in the heights. -It is warmer upon the heights than people in the valleys believe, especially in winter. The thinker knows all that this comparison implies.
39 Why stupid people so often become malicious. -To the reproaches of an opponent, where our head feels itself too weak to respond, our heart responds by casting suspicion upon the motives behind his reproaches.
122 Good memory. -There are many who do not become thinkers only because their memories are too good.
I like that last quote the best!

People sometimes prefer not to think to deep about the problems they face or questions that life throws at them. Not knowing is often seen as more comfortable than knowing what is wrong in more (disturbing) details. The thinkers on top of the mountain might say that they atleast see what is out there or what is coming even though it is cold the lack of ignorance warms them.
