She knew things that no one else could ever possibly know.

  • Knowledge is like a knife. In the hands of a well-balanced adult it is an instrument for good of inestimable value; but in the hands of a child, an idiot, a criminal, a drunkard or an insane man, it may cause havoc, misery, suffering and crime.

There's a Bible on that shelf there. But I keep it next to Voltaire - poison and antidote.
