Seeing is no longer believing; believing remains seeing.

Seeing is no longer believing; believing remains seeing.
I fought the Zeitgeist and the Zeitgeist won.
Nearly everything in history nearly didn’t happen.
What we laugh at in a comedy we rarely applaud, and what we applaud we rarely laugh at.
We err by treating vice as reprehensible, when it is usually only ridiculous.
The history of Western art would be entirely different if, 500 years ago, we had known that the Greeks painted their sculpture.
To have opinions is a private vice; to air them is a public nuisance.
No one will ever know what it is like to be stupid.
To have prophesied the disaster is a great consolation in its event.
The choice is better thoughts or our own.
