If you're going to tell people the truth, you better make them laugh; otherwise they'll kill you.

Truth, in the matters of religion, is simply the opinion that has survived.

"All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident. Thus the task is not so much to see what no one yet has seen, but to think what nobody yet has thought about that which everybody sees"
