 A sublime faith in human imbecility has seldom led those who cherish it astray. |
| Even the most scientific investigator in science, the most thoroughgoing Positivist, cannot dispense with fiction; he must at least make use of categories, and they are already fictions, analogical fictions, or labels, which give us the same pleasure as children receive when they are told the "name" of a thing. |

| The family only represents one aspect, however important an aspect, of a human being's functions and activities. . . . A life is beautiful and ideal or the reverse, only when we have taken into our consideration the social as well as the family relationship. |
| The mathematician has reached the highest rung on the ladder of human thought. |
| The place where optimism most flourishes is the lunatic asylum. |
| The romantic embrace can only be compared with music and with prayer. |
| The sun and the moon and the stars would have disappeared long ago... had they happened to be within the reach of predatory human hands. |
| There has never been any country at every moment so virtuous and so wise that it has not sometimes needed to be saved from itself. |
| There is nothing that war has ever achieved that we could not better achieve without it. |
