““My guides, and indeed those of everyone who gropes through this world, are two. Insolence of the mind, which inquires into everything, and inveterate custom with regard to all things, which gives the colour of truth to the deceits of the world. He who follows them prudently will, together with me, recognize the wretched turmoil of his race; but if it appears otherwise to him, let him know that the spectacles of the general deception oppress his nose.””
