To know God better is only to realize how impossible it is that we should ever know him at all. I know not which is more childish to deny him, or define him.

An apology for the devil: it must be remembered that we have heard one side of the case. God has written all the books.

Let us eat and drink neither forgetting death unduly nor remembering it. The Lord hath mercy on whom he will have mercy, etc., and the less we think about it the better.

And so there is no God but has been in the loins of past gods.

Christ: I dislike him very much. Still, I can stand him. What I cannot stand is the wretched band of people whose profession is to hoodwink us about him.

All philosophies, if you ride them home, are nonsense, but some are greater nonsense than others.

When you've told someone that you've left them a legacy the only decent thing to do is to die at once.
