Quotes

• “Those who deny the first principle should be flogged or burned until they admit that it is not the same thing to be burned and not burned, or whipped and not whipped.”
• “An ignorant doctor is the aide-de-camp of death.”
• “God, the supreme being, is neither circumscribed by space, nor touched by time; he cannot be found in a particular direction, and his essence cannot change. The secret conversation is thus entirely spiritual; it is a direct encounter between God and the soul, abstracted from all material constraints.”
• “I [prefer] a short life with width to a narrow one with length.”
• “Medicine considers the human body as to the means by which it is cured and by which it is driven away from health.”
• “Religious law makes it illegal for the ignorant to drink wine, but intelligence makes it legal for the intellectual.”
