Monday Morning Quote – Voltaire on Singing

We hope you had a great weekend, folks, and welcome back for yet another Monday Morning Quote. Today’s quote is by the famous French author and philosopher, Voltaire, who wrote about reason, religion and liberty during the Age of Enlightenment. At the time, he was a frequenter of coffeehouses, which in their caffeine-loaded glory are noted by some historians to have been the impetus behind this new movement in higher thinking. In fact, Voltaire himself is said to have enjoyed anywhere from 50-70 cups a day (no wonder the guy was a bit of a nut).

  A portrait of Voltaire, the famous French author, philosopher, and caffiene addict. Anything that is too stupid to be spoken is sung.

Well that quote is predicated on your having something stupid to say in the first place, Pilipo, which you never do.

That is, except for that one time when you asked the other Nun where the soap was….
