Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Works of Charles Paul De Kock Some people are in the habit of doubting everything, many others turn everything into ridicule, and a very great number consider themselves qualified to understand and judge of everything. It is convenient to doubt, for then one need not investigate. Thus I have seen a good many people shrug their shoulders when people spoke to them of the distance of the sun from the earth; they answered that no one had been able to go to the sun and ascertain this and, starting from this principle, they refused to believe in astronomy. The sect of the Pyrrhoneans is numerous, "Plus negare potest asinus quam probare philosophus." To turn everything into ridicule is still easier. By Jove! it is by making game of others that so many people in the world gain a reputation for wit. Poor wit that, of which the shallowest brain has always enough and to spare. There is a ridiculous side to everything if one wishes to look for it; even the sublime is not exempt (above all the sublimity of our epoch).
