Quote by Paul Valery (1871-1945)

• A man is infinitely more complicated than his thoughts.

• God made everything out of nothing, but the nothingness shows through.

• God created man and, finding him not sufficiently alone, gave him a companion to make him feel his solitude more keenly.

• A man who is 'of sound mind' is one who keeps the inner madman under lock and key.

• Politics is the art of preventing people from sticking their noses in things that are properly their business.

• The trouble with our times is that the future is not what it used to be.
