“Le silence est un effet de la prudence par laquelle on refuse de se laisser juger ou de s’engager. Il est aussi un effet de l’ascétisme par lequel on réfrène la spontanéité de ses mouvements naturels, on renonce à compter dans l’esprit d’autrui, à obtenir son estime ou à exercer une action sur lui.

Cependant, il y a encore dans le silence une sorte d’hommage rendu à la gravité de la vie ; car les paroles ne forment qu’un monde intermédiaire entre ces sentiments intérieurs qui n’ont de sens que pour nous, mais qu’elles trahissent toujours, et les actes qui changent la face du monde et dont souvent elles tiennent la place. L’homme le plus frivole se contente de parler, sans que ses paroles mettent en jeu ni sa pensée, ni sa conduite. Le plus sérieux est celui qui parle le moins : il ne sait que méditer ou agir.

Les paroles ne valent que si elles sont médiatrices entre la virtualité de la pensée et la réalité de l’action. Et l’on peut dire qu’elles rendent la pensée réelle, bien qu’elles ne soient encore qu’une action virtuelle.”
Louis Lavelle, L'Erreur de Narcisse

Xavier de Maistre
“Imagination, realm of enchantment!- which the most beneficent of beings bestowed upon man to console him for reality- I must quit you now.”
Xavier de Maistre, Voyage Around My Room

Crispin Hellion Glover
“Eccentric doesn't bother me. "Eccentric" being a poetic interpretation of a mathematical term meaning something that doesn't follow the lines - that's okay.”
Crispin Hellion Glover

Bill Bryson
“Not one of your pertinent ancestors was squashed, devoured, drowned, starved, stranded, stuck fast, untimely wounded, or otherwise deflected from its life's quest of delivering a tiny charge of genetic material to the right partner at the right moment in order to perpetuate the only possible sequence of hereditary combinations that could result -- eventually, astoundingly, and all too briefly -- in you.”
Bill Bryson, A Short History of Nearly Everything

Mark Steyn
“Kafka would surely have been impressed by the twin ambitions of the modern empathetic state: the need to set up hyper-regulatory bodies preventing you from doing anything yourself, while simultaneously endowing lavish pseudo-agencies to hand out leaflets listing a 1-800 number you can dial to order more leaflets.”
Mark Steyn
