The dictionary is based on the hypothesis -- obviously an unproven one -- that languages are made up of equivalent synonyms. Jorge Luis Borges
No school can supply an anti-liberal education, or a fascist education, as these terms are contradictory. Liberalism and education are one. George Seldes
I'm no more modern than ancient, no more French than Chinese, and the idea of a native country, that is to say, the imperative to live on one bit of ground marked red or blue on the map and to hate the other bits in green or black, has always seemed to me narrow-minded, blinkered and profoundly stupid. I am a soul brother to everything that lives, to the giraffe and to the crocodile as much as to man. Gustave Flaubert
