"I hate all explanations; they who make..." - Quote by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

“There is no patriotic art.”

“Age childish makes, they say, but 'tis not true;We're only genuine children still in Age's season.[Ger., Das Alter macht nicht kindisch, wie man spricht,Es findet uns nur noch als wahre Kinder.]”

“If you've never eaten while crying you don t know what life tastes like.”

“... strange things may be generally accounted for if their cause be fairly seached out.”

“I shall not commit the fashionable stupidity of regarding everything I cannot explain as a fraud.”

“Explaining humor is a lot like dissecting a frog, you learn a lot in the process, but in the end you kill it.”

“How laudable it is for a prince to keep good faith and live with integrity, and not with astuteness, every one knows. Still the experience of our times shows those princes to have done great things who have had little regard for good faith, and have been able by astuteness to confuse men's brains, and who have ultimately overcome those who have made loyalty their foundation.”

“If there had been any formidable body of cannibals in the country, Harry Truman would have promised to provide them with free missionaries fattened at the taxpayer's expense.”

“The worse part of being lied to is when you realize you believed it.”
