Quotes by Lion Feuchtwanger (?)

“In itself it is nothing. Nothing but a book: parchment, colouring, ink. Yet the most perishable material is at the same time the most durable substance in the world…”

“There is nothing the rabble fears more than intelligence. If they understood what is truly terrifying, they would fear ignorance.”

“The word and the image mutually excluded each other. Joseph was a literary man to his very marrow; he put faith in the invisible Word; it was the most miraculous thing in all the world; though without form it had more power than anything endowed with form”
― Lion Feuchtwanger, Josephus
