Georg Christoph Lichtenberg Quotes


A German scientist, satirist and Anglophile.
Georg Christoph Lichtenberg (1 July 1742 – 24 February 1799) was a German scientist, satirist and Anglophile. As a scientist, he was the first to hold a professorship explicitly dedicated to experimental physics in Germany. Today, he is remembered for his posthumously published notebooks, which he himself called Sudelbücher, a description modeled on the English bookkeeping term "waste books", and for his discovery of the strange treelike patterns now called Lichtenberg figures.

Here are some famous quotes by Georg Christoph Lichtenberg.




Too much is unwholesome.

One can live in this world on soothsaying but not on truth saying.

It often takes more courage to change one's opinion than to stick to it.

A book is a mirror: if an ass peers into it you can't expect an apostle to look out.

Bad writers are those who try to express their own feeble ideas in the language of good ones.
