Quote by Stendhal

Friendship has its illusions no less than love.

Friendship has its illusions no less than love.

Summary

This quote suggests that just like love, friendship can involve illusions or deceptive perceptions. It implies that friendships can sometimes be built on ideals or misconceptions, rather than on genuine understanding and connection. People may form friendships based on unrealistic expectations, romanticizing the qualities or actions of their friends. However, these illusions in friendships, like in love, can lead to disappointment when reality does not meet those expectations. It prompts us to recognize that friendships, like any other relationships, require honesty, authenticity, and a genuine understanding of one another to be truly meaningful and lasting.

In the faces of men and women I see God, and in my own face

In the faces of men and women I see God, and in my own face in the glass, I find letters from God dropped in the street, and every one is signed by God's name. And I leave them where they are, for I know that wherever I go, others will punctually come for ever and ever.

It is known that there is an infinite number of worlds, but that not every one is inhabited. Therefore, there must be a finite nuber of inhabited worlds. Any finite number divided by infinity is as near to nothing as makes no odds, so if every planet in the Universe has a populations of zero then the entire population of the Universe must also be zero, and any people you may actually meet from time to time are merely the products of a deranged imagination.

In 5 billion years, the expansion of the universe will have progressed to the point where all other galaxies will have receded beyond detection. Indeed, they will be receding faster than the speed of light, so detection will be impossible. Future civilizations will discover science and all its laws, and never know about other galaxies or the cosmic background radiation. They will inevitably come to the wrong conclusion about the universe......We live in a special time, the only time, where we can observationally verify that we live in a special time.
