Oh, maybe a little treasure for the more rabid Incunks, the collectors and the academics who maintained their positions in large part by examining the literary equivalent of navel-lint in each other's abstruse journals; ambitious, overeducated goofs who had lost touch with what books and reading were actually about and could be content to go on spinning straw into footnoted fool's gold for decades on end.
- Stephen King
It's fool's gold if you are winning games and are not playing the right way.
- Antonio Davis
What is called honors and dignities, and even honor and dignity, is generally fool's gold.
- Victor Hugo
There's fool's goldpyriteand then there's fool's goldgold owned by idiots willing to trade it for worthless dollars.

I had become a kind of information magpie, gathering to myself all manner of shiny scraps of fact and hokum and books and art-history and politics and music and film, and developing, too, a certain skill in manipulating and arranging these pitiful shards so that they glittered and caught the light. Fool's gold, or priceless nuggets mined from my singular childhood's rich bohemian seam? I leave it to others to decide.
