Quote by Georg Christoph Lichtenberg (1742-1799)

• Everyone is a genius at least once a year. The real geniuses simply have their bright ideas closer together.

• What a blessing it would be if we could open and shut our ears as easily as we open and shut our eyes!

• Perhaps in time the so-called Dark Ages will be thought of as including our own.

• I cannot say whether things will get better if we change; what I can say is they must change if they are to get better.

• A person reveals his character by nothing so clearly as the joke he resents.

• Nothing is more conducive to peace of mind than not having any opinions at all.
