“ The most dangerous of all falsehoods is a slightly distorted truth. ”
If we thought more for ourselves we would have very many more bad books and very many more good ones.
~ Georg Christoph Lichtenberg
When they have discovered truth in nature they fling it into a book, where it is even worse hands.
...if we gained only one incontestable truth every ten years from each of our philosophical writers the harvest we reaped would be sufficient.
What I do not like about our definitions of genius is that there is in them nothing of the day of judgment, nothing of resounding through eternity and nothing of the footsteps of the Almighty.
