"If you gave Falwell an enema, he could be buried in a matchbox."
david hume
If we take in our hand any volume; of divinity or school metaphysics, for instance; let us ask, "Does it contain any abstract reasoning concerning quantity or number?" No. "Does it contain any experimental reasoning concerning matter of fact and existence?" No. Commit it then to the flames: For it can contain nothing but sophistry and illusion.
Antonin Artaud
"There are some fools who think of themselves as beings, as innately being."
Michel Foucault
"As the archaeology of our thought easily shows, man is an invention of recent date. And one perhaps nearing its end."
Wallace Stevens
"We live in an old chaos of the sun, / Or old dependency of day and night, / Or island solitude, unsponsored, free, / Of that wide water, inescapable."
Conrad Aiken
"Was the North Star hung at the world's masthead only in order that on a certain day in a certain year an ugly wallpaper should be glued to the walls of this room?"
Pat Robertson
