The way to become boring is to say everything.

We admit, in geometry, not only infinite magnitudes, that is to say, magnitudes greater than any assignable magnitude, but infinite magnitudes infinitely greater, the one than the other. This astonishes our dimension of brains, which is only about six inches long, five broad, and six in depth, in the largest heads.

A good imitation is the most perfect originality

Exaggeration, the inseparable companion of greatness.

Satire lies about literary men while they live and eulogy lies about them when they die.
