It is just as easy to dream without sleeping as it is to sleep without dreaming.

One of our forefathers must have read a forbidden book.

He stood there looking as sad as a dead bird's bird-bath.

Proposal: in a cold winter why not burn books?

That the earth goes round the sun and that when I sharpen a pen the point of it flies off into my eye is all one law.

If reason, the daughter of Heaven, were allowed to be the judge of beauty, only sickness would be ugly.

Thousands can see that a proposition is nonsense without possessing the capacity to formally refute it.

A droll thought: a scholar weeping because he cannot understand his own writings.

He marveled at the fact that cats had two holes cut in their fur at precisely the spot where their eyes are.

Among the greatest discoveries human reason has made in recent times is, in my opinion, the art of reviewing books without having read them.

The most dangerous untruths are truths slightly distorted.
