Samuel Butler

Citas

• “A hen is only an egg's way of making another egg.”

• “Life is the art of drawing sufficient conclusions from insufficient premises.”

• “God does not intend people, and does not like people, to be too good. He likes them neither too good nor too bad, but a little too bad is more venial with him than a little too good.”

• “My notes always grow longer if I shorten them. I mean the process of compression makes them more pregnant and they breed new notes.”

• “They say the test of this [literary power] is whether a man can write an inscription. I say “Can he name a kitten?” And by this test I am condemned, for I cannot.”
