"I can't admit of an old boy of a God who takes walks in his garden with a cane in his hand, who lodges his friends in the belly of whales, dies uttering a cry, and rises again at the end of three days; things absurd in themselves, and completely opposed, moreover, to all physical laws, which prove to us, by the way, that priests have always wallowed in turpid ignorance, in which they would fain engulf the people with them."
"Confusion is still better than conviction in the wrong!!!!"
"I hate books they teach us only to talk about what we do not know."

"Amazing what the British do with language; the nuances of politeness. The world's great diplomats, surely."
