Dzieje kultury wykazuj_, ze g_upota jest siostr_ bliźniacz_ rozumu, ona ro_nie najbujniej nie na glebie dziewiczej ignorancji , lecz na gruncie uprawnym siódmym potem doktorów i profesorów. Wielkie absurdy nie s_ wymy_lane przez tych, których rozum krz_ta si_ wokó_ spraw codziennych. Nic dziwnego zatem, że w_a_nie najintensywniejsi my_liciele bywali producentami najwi_kszego g_upstwa. / The history of culture shows that foolishness is a twin sister of wisdom.

No wonder that sometimes most vigorous thinkers come up with utmost stupidities. (Dziennik 1956, XIX, Thursday)
