A book is a mirror: if an ape looks into it an apostle is hardly likely to look out.
Georg C. LichtenbergOne must judge men not by their opinions, but by what their opinions have made of them.
Georg C. LichtenbergDo we write books so that they shall merely be read? Don't we also write them for employment in the household? For one that is read from start to finish, thousands are leafed through, other thousands lie motionless, others are jammed against mouseholes, thrown at rats, others are stood on, sat on, drummed on, have gingerbread baked on them or are used to light pipes.
Georg C. LichtenbergWhen a book and a head collide and a hollow sound is heard, must it always have come from the book?
