"History is but the record of crimes..." - Quote by Voltaire

“Perfection is attained by slow degrees; it requires the hand of time.”

“Man is free at the instant he wants to be.”

“If you want to know who controls you, look at who you are not allowed to criticize.”

“Don't be misled by History, or any other unreliable source.”

“When a man understands the art of seeing, he can trace the spirit of an age and the features of a king even in the knocker on a door.”

“Greek philosophy seems to have met with something with which a good tragedy is not supposed to meet, namely, a dull ending.”

“I know all those people. I have friendly, social, and criminal relations with the whole lot of them.”

“I always thought what an interesting idea because almost everybody's fascinated by the perpetrator of a crime; very few people study what happens to people for the rest of their lives, and how it affects not only that particular character but other characters around him as well.”

“Assasination on the scaffold is the worst form of assasination, because there it is invested with the approval of society.”
