Thought of the Day -- Denis Diderot

In watching ARHD, I have discovered my own deficiency in acquaintance with important figures in the Enlightenment and their quotes and ideals. I am going to remedy that.

Denis Diderot (Paris, 1713-1784)
“Wandering in a vast forest at night, I have only a faint light to guide me. A stranger appears and says to me: ‘My friend, you should blow out your candle in order to find your way more clearly.’ This stranger is a theologian”
