Distrust even Mathematics albeit so sublime and highly perfected, we have here a machine of such delicacy it can only work in vacuo, and one grain of sand in the wheels is enough to put everything out of gear. One shudders to think to what disaster such a grain of sand may bring a Mathematical brain. Remember Pascal.
Anatole France
All the good writers of confessions, from Augustine onwards, are men who are still a little in love with their sins.
Anatole France
Never lend books, for no one ever returns them the only books I have in my library are books that other folks have left me.
