Quotes by Jean-Marie Blas de Roblès (?)

“Děláme si však o lidech takové předsudky, zavíráme je do tak malých přihrádeček, že zůstáváme jako opaření, když nám z nich najednou ze všech stran vykukují.”
― Jean-Marie Blas de Robles, Půlnoční hora

The stupid bird insists on repeating that 'Man's swelling his pointed dick,' and there's no way of making him correct it." [bird's name is 'Heidegger']”
