Reality is the cage of those who lack imagination.

If human beings could be propagated by cutting, like apple trees, aristocracy would be biologically sound.

The conservative has but little to fear from the man whose reason is the servant of his passions, but let him beware of him in whom reason has become the greatest and most terrible of the passions. These are the wreckers of outworn empires and civilisations, doubters, disintegrators, deicides.

This is my prediction for the future: Whatever hasn't happened will happen, and no one will be safe from it.
