“ A person reveals his character by nothing so clearly as the joke he resents. ”
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.
The most dangerous of all falsehoods is a slightly distorted truth.
