New and Improved Edition?

Georg Christoph Lichtenberg, Sudelbücher (F 32, tr. R. J. Hollingdale, with commas added):

Ich bin überzeugt, wenn Gott einmal einen solchen Menschen schaffen wollte, wie ihn sich die Magister und Professoren der Philosophie vorstellen, er müßte den ersten Tag ins Tollhaus gebracht werden...
