Any mental activity is easy if it need not be subjected to reality.
Marcel Proust, Cities of the Plain, p. 674
Yes, I'm featuring the seemingly impossible: a sentence from Proust that isn't three pages long. However, I'm championing it, not because of its brevity, but because of its brilliance. I may now have to start out every class with this line, right before I write Observe/Analyze/Argue on the board for the first of thirty times. This line may also perfectly sum up the idiocy of the recent election.
