Action speaks louder than words but not nearly as often.

The Church worked hard at it night and day during nine centuries and imprisoned, tortured, hanged, and burned whole hordes and armies of witches, and washed the Christian world clean with their foul blood. Then it was discovered that there was no such thing as witches, and never had been. One doesn't know whether to laugh or to cry. Who discovered that there was no such thing as a witch - the priest, the parson? No, these never discover anything.

Well enough for old folks to rise early, because they have done so many mean things all their lives they can't sleep anyhow.

There is no such thing as a new idea. We simply take a lot of old ideas and put them into a sort of mental kaleidoscope.

I can teach anybody how to get what they want out of life. The problem is that I can't find anybody who can tell me what they want.

Everything human is pathetic

I don't want no better book than what your face is.
