An intellectual is a person who has discovered something more interesting than sex.
At least two-thirds of our miseries spring from human stupidity, human malice and those great motivators and justifiers of malice and stupidity: idealism, dogmatism and proselytizing zeal on behalf of religous or political ideas.
Maybe this world is another planet's hell.
Most human beings have an almost infinite capacity for taking things for granted.
That all men are equal is a proposition which, at ordinary times, no sane individual has ever given his assent.
There's only one corner of the universe you can be certain of improving, and that's your own self.
After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music.
Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored.
A belief in hell and the knowledge that every ambition is doomed to frustration at the hands of a skeleton have never prevented the majority of human beings from behaving as though death were no more than an unfounded rumor.
A democracy which makes or even effectively prepares for modern, scientific war must necessarily cease to be democratic. No country can be really well prepared for modern war unless it is governed by a tyrant, at the head of a highly trained and perfectly obedient bureaucracy.
Children are remarkable for their intelligence and ardor, for their curiosity, their intolerance of shams, the clarity and ruthlessness of their vision.
