Fortunately, when he lacks reason he also lacks words. — Joseph Joubert

"It is above all the language for expressing these truths that have not yet been found."

"Think nothing outside their paper."

"When you write easily, you always think you have more talent than you really do."

"Half myself mocks the other half."

"I do not call reason that brutal reason which crushes with its weight what is holy and sacred; that malignant reason which delights in the errors it succeeds in discovering; that unfeeling and scornful reason which insults credulity."

"It is better to be concerned with being than with nothingness. Dream therefore of what you still have rather than what you have lost."
