Voltaire

Voltaire

Voltaire
I believe that there never was a creator of a philosophical system who did not confess at the end of his life that he had wasted his time.

Voltaire
Writing is the painting of the voice.
Voltaire
If you have two religions in your land, the two will cut each other’s throats but if you have thirty religions, they will dwell in peace
Voltaire
The superfluous is the most necessary.
Voltaire
What a pessimist you are! exclaimed Candide. That is because I know what life is, said Martin.
Voltaire
It is not love that should be depicted as blind, but self-love.
Voltaire
Life is a shipwreck but we must not forget to sing in the lifeboats.
