I never can understand how anyone can not smoke - it deprives a man of the best part of life ... with a good cigar in his mouth a man is perfectly safe, nothing can touch him - literally.
Thomas Mann
No man but feels more of a man in the world if he have a bit of ground that he can call his own. However small it is on the surface, it is four thousand miles deep; and that is a very handsome property.
Charles Dudley Warner
To explain all nature is too difficult a task for any one man or even for any one age. Tis much better to do a little with certainty & leave the rest for others that come after than to explain all things by conjecture without making sure of any thing.
Isaac Newton

Sigmund Freud
