Quote by Paul-Henri Thiry Holbach

"Man is unhappy because he does not know he is happy; it is only that which makes him unhappy."

"All religions are founded on fables and mysteries; and it is impossible that we should ever be tolerably happy."

"Theology is the effort to explain the unknowable in terms of the not worth knowing."

"Man's life is a line between the nothing from which it comes and the nothing into which it goes."

"The pen is mightier than the sword."

"Literature opens the mind to new worlds"

"The interesting thing about books is that they're made of words."

"Literature captures the essence of what it means to be human."
