" Man may well have covered over and, so to speak, encrusted the truth with the errors he has loaded onto it, but these errors are local, and universal truth will always show itself. " - Joseph de Maistre

" I don’t know what a scoundrel is like, but I know what a respectable man is like, and it’s enough to make one’s flesh creep. " - Joseph de Maistre

" In the works of man, everything is as poor as its author; vision is confined, means are limited, scope is restricted, movements are labored, and results are humdrum. " - Joseph de Maistre
