Beauty is no quality in things themselves: It exists merely in the mind which contemplates them; and each mind perceives a different beauty
Scottish Enlightenment philosopher, historian, economist, and essayist, who is best known today for his highly influential system of philosophical empiricism, skepticism, and naturalism.
All knowledge degenerates into probability
The heart of man is made to reconcile the most glaring contradictions
There is nothing to be learnt from a Professor, which is not to be met with in Books
Art may make a suit of clothes, but nature must produce a man
Explanation is where the mind rests
A wise man apportions his beliefs to the evidence
Man is the cruelest animal
The important thing is to not stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing
Cowardice is the one thing that cannot be repaired by any means.
I'm not upset that you lied to me, I'm upset that from now on I can't believe you
Life is a shipwreck, but we must not forget to sing in the lifeboats
There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed
