“Every one of us is blind and deaf until our eyes are opened to our fellowmen, until our ears hear the voice of humanity.”

“People do not like to think. If one thinks, one must reach conclusions. Conclusions are not always pleasant.”

“Live it up so you can write it down.”

“As the pleasures of the body are the ones which we most often meet with, and as all men are capable of these, these have usurped the family title; and some men think these are the only pleasures that exist, because they are the only ones which they know.”

“The highest pleasure to be got out of freedom, and having nothing to do, is labor.”

“When Pleasure is at the bar the jury is not impartial.”
