The decisions of law courts should never be printed: in the long run, they form a counter authority to the law.
Denis Diderot
Image
I feel, I think, I judge therefore, a part of organized matter like me is capable of feeling, thinking, and judging.
Denis Diderot
Image
What has not been examined impartially has not been well examined. Skepticism is therefore the first step towards truth.
Denis Diderot
Image
You risk just as much in being credulous as in being suspicious.
Denis Diderot
Image
All things must be examined, debated, investigated without exception and without regard for anyone's feelings.
Denis Diderot
