Oh, hasten not this loving act, Rapture where self and not-self meet: My life has been the awaiting you, Your footfall was my own heart's beat.

To enter into your own mind you need to be armed to the teeth.

History is the most dangerous product evolved from the chemistry of the intellect. ...History will justify anything. It teaches precisely nothing, for it contains everything and furnishes examples of everything.

The advantage of the incomprehensible is that it never loses its freshness.

History is the science of what never happens twice.

Science means simply the aggregate of all the recipes that are always successful. All the rest is literature.

What is simple is wrong, and what is complicated cannot be understood.
