You think you are dying for your country; you die for the industrialists.

It is human nature to think wisely and act in an absurd fashion.

The mania of thinking renders one unfit for every activity.

Distrust even Mathematics; albeit so sublime and highly perfected, we have here a machine of such delicacy it can only work in vacuo, and one grain of sand in the wheels is enough to put everything out of gear. One shudders to think to what disaster such a grain of sand may bring a Mathematical brain. Remember Pascal.
