Mar. 15th, 2006 11:10 amIn re: last post (which some of you will not have seen), I decided to look up Voltaire (the French guy, that is, not the goth musician) and see if "Anything too stupid to be said is sung" is in fact attributed to him. Apparently it is, and there's some other good ones on that page, such as:
"God is a circle whose center is everywhere and circumference nowhere." --I'd wonder if he'd been reading Crowley, if he hadn't died in 1778.
"Regimen is superior to medicine" and "The art of medicine consists in amusing the patient while nature cures the disease."
"Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities."
and
"Use, do not abuse; neither abstinence nor excess ever renders man happy."
I wonder if there's such a thing as "quote-o-mancy", by use of such devices as the random selection page? Maybe that's just a variation of bibliomancy.
