Even though it is from medieval times, Les Pensees de Pascal , I am sure that somebody out there has read or heard of Pascal, a genius or maybe obsessive man of knowledge from the 1600's who wrote "thoughts", proverbs or bits of wisdom on slips of paper that many knew about but nobody really knew the extent of until after his death. There was a huge volume published (don't know yet when). Now, I will have to do some research to give some examples of some of the amazing things he said.
After a search on Shelfari, it says only one person has read it, so anybody remember it now?
