More From Paul Valery
- "Our judgments judge us, and nothing reveals us, exposes our weaknesses, more ingeniously than the attitude of pronouncing upon our fellows."
- "The folly of mistaking a paradox for a discovery, a metaphor for a proof, a torrent of verbiage for a spring of capital truths, and oneself for an oracle, is inborn in us."
- "An artist never really finishes his work, he merely abandons it."

- "What is human warfare but just this; an effort to make the laws of God and nature take sides with one party."― Henry David Thoreau
