Society is a republic. When an individual endeavors to lift himself above his fellows, he is dragged down by the mass, either by means of ridicule or of calumny. No one shall be more virtuous or more intellectually gifted than others.

Those who begin by burning books will end by burning people.

I bequeath all my property to my wife on the condition that she remarry immediately. Then there will be at least one man to regret my death.

Whenever books are burned, men also in the end are burned.
