The main thing is to know something and to say it.

Good drama must be drastic.

Without poetry, religion becomes obscure, false, and malignant; without philosophy, licentious in all wantonness, and lascivious to the point of self-castration.

Wit is absolutely sociable spirit or aphoristic genius.

Publication is to thinking as childbirth is to the first kiss.

Only through religion can logic develop into philosophy, only from this source stems that which makes philosophy more than science. And without religion we will have only novels, or the triviality today called belles lettres instead of an eternally rich and infinite poetry.

In the world of language, or in other words in the world of art and liberal education, religion necessarily appears as mythology or as Bible.
