We can know nothing till after this grave debate. The soul must withdraw, for this is not its hour. Now the knife must divide the flesh, and lay the ravage bare, and do its work completely.

It is always brave to say what everyone thinks.

When you are in it up to your ears, keep your mouth shut.

I have too much respect for the idea of God to make it responsible for such an absurd world.

We do not know the true value of our moments until they have undergone the test of memory.

Do not trust your memory; it is a net full of holes; the most beautiful prizes slip through it.

The desire for order is the only order in the world.
