    —Louis-Ferdinand Céline (1894–1961)

    “It is funny that men who are supposed to be scientific cannot get themselves to realise the basic principle of physics, that action and reaction are equal and opposite, that when you persecute people you always rouse them to be strong and stronger.”
    —Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)

    “My pet, the world can forgive practically anything except people who mind their own business.”
