Who said “Speech and silence. We feel safer with a madman who talks than with one who cannot open…”?

“Speech is the small change of silence.”

“I don't want to talk grammar. I want to talk like a lady.”

“Speech is human, silence is divine, yet also brutish and dead: therefore we must learn both arts.”

“Man does not speak because he thinks; he thinks because he speaks. Or rather, speaking is no different than thinking: to speak is to think.”

“Many great writers have been extraordinarily awkward in daily exchange, but the greatest give the impression that their style was nursed by the closest attention to colloquial speech.”

“Every thought derives from a thwarted sensation.”

“There is no means of proving it is preferable to be than not to be.”

“Consciousness is much more than the thorn, it is the dagger in the flesh.”

“The fact that life has no meaning is a reason to live --moreover, the only one.”

“Progress is the injustice each generation commits with regard to its predecessors.”

“It is not worth the bother of killing yourself, since you always kill yourself too late.”
