Response to Voltaire

Indeed.

I like the quotes below as well, from Voltaire:

Anything too stupid to be said is sung.

Doubt is not a pleasant condition, but certainty is absurd.

I have never made but one prayer to God, a very short one: 'O Lord, make my enemies ridiculous.' And God granted it.

Indeed, history is nothing more than a tableau of crimes and misfortunes.

It is dangerous to be right when the government is wrong.

It is forbidden to kill; therefore all murderers are punished unless they kill in large numbers and to the sound of trumpets.
