Voltaire

Quotes from Voltaire that I find amusing

Anything too stupid to be said is sung.

It is forbidden to kill; therefore all murderers are punished unless they kill in large numbers and to the sound of trumpets.

I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.

Monsieur l'abbé, I detest what you write, but I would give my life to make it possible for you to continue to write.
