Theory Helps Us To Bear Our Ignorance

History Is Always Written Wrong, And So Always Needs To Be Rewritten. ...what Is Interesting Is Brought Forward As If It Had Been Central And Efficacious In The March Of Events, And Harmonies Are Turned Into Causes. Kings And Generals Are Endowed With Motives Appropriate To What The Historian Values In Their Actions; Plans Are Imputed To Them Prophetic Of Their Actual Achievements, While The Thoughts That Really Preoccupied Them Remain Buried In Absolute Oblivion.

Whoever It Was Who Searched The Heavens With A Telescope And Found No God Would Not Have Found The Human Mind If He Had Searched The Brain With A Microscope.

It Takes Patience To Appreciate Domestic Bliss; Volatile Spirits Prefer Unhappiness.

If Pain Could Have Cured Us We Should Long Ago Have Been Saved.

The Effort Of Art Is To Keep What Is Interesting In Existence, To Recreate It In The Eternal.
