More From Georg C. Lichtenberg
- "Here take back the stuff that I am, nature, knead it back into the dough of being, make of me a bush, a cloud, whatever you will, even a man, only no longer make me me."
- "What is called an acute knowledge of human nature is mostly nothing but the observer’s own weaknesses reflected back from others."
- "The pleasures of the imagination are as it were only drawings and models which are played with by poor people who cannot afford the real thing."

- "If I can put one touch of rosy sunset into the life of any man or woman, I shall feel that I have worked with God."― Gilbert K. Chesterton
- "Fix reason firmly in her seat, and call to her tribunal every fact, every opinion. Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason, than that of blindfolded fear."― Thomas Jefferson
