(1694-1778) French Writer, Philosopher [Voltaire at Amazon]
Prejudices are what fools use for reason.
Judge a man by his questions rather than by his answers.
Originality is nothing but judicious imitation. The most original writers borrowed from one another. The instruction we find in books is like fire. We fetch it from our neighbours, kindle it at home, communicate it to others, and it becomes the prope.
