“A collection of rare thoughts is nothing less than a cabinet of intellectual gems”

“There is nothing that an intellectual less likes to change than his mind, or a politician his policy.”

“How rare true love maybe, it is less so than true friendship.”

“However rare true love may be, it is less so than true friendship.”

“What do you mean less than nothing? I don't think there is any such thing as less than nothing. Nothing is absolutely the limit of nothingness. It's the lowest you can go. It's the end of the line. How can something be less than nothing? If there were something that was less than nothing, then nothing would not be nothing, it would be something - even though it's just a very little bit of something. But if nothing is nothing, then nothing has nothing that is less than it is.”

“Scepticism is never certain of itself, being less a firm intellectual position than a pose to justify bad behavior.”
