Industry has operated against the artisan in favor of the idler, and also in favor of capital and against labor. Any mechanical invention whatsoever has been more harmful to humanity than a century of war.
From Remy de Gourmont
Simple ideas lie within the reach only of complex minds.
The terrible thing about the quest for truth is that you find it.
Try to put well in practice what you already know. In so doing, you will, in good time, discover the hidden things you now inquire about.
We live less and less, and we learn more and more. Sensibility is surrendering to intelligence.
Each man must grant himself the emotions that he needs and the morality that suits him.
Very simple ideas lie within the reach only of complex minds.
Women still remember the first kiss after men have forgotten the last.
Of all the sexual aberrations, perhaps the most peculiar is chastity.
Man associates ideas not according to logic or verifiable exactitude, but according to his pleasure and interests. It is for this reason that most truths are nothing but prejudices.
