When we blindly adopt a religion, a political system, a literary dogma, we become automatons. We cease to grow.

Man has been endowed with reason, with the power to create, so that he can add to what he's been given. But up to now he hasn't been a creator, only a destroyer. Forests keep disappearing, rivers dry up, wild life's become extinct, the climate's ruined and the land grows poorer and uglier every day. [Uncle Vanya, 1897]

Guts are important. Your guts are what digest things. But it is your brains that tell you which things to swallow and which not to swallow.

We know the truth, not only by the reason, but also by the heart.

Believe nothing just because a so-called wise person said it. Believe nothing just because a belief is generally held. Believe nothing just because it is said in ancient books. Believe nothing just because it is said to be of divine origin. Believe nothing just because someone else believes it. Believe only what you yourself test and judge to be true.

Feelings are not supposed to be logical. Dangerous is the man who has rationalized his emotions.

There is nothing to fear except the persistent refusal to find out the truth, the persistent refusal to analyze the causes of happenings.

The fundamental fact about the Greek was that he had to use his mind. The ancient priests had said, "Thus far and no farther. We set the limits of thought." The Greek said, "All things are to be examined and called into question. There are no limits set on thought."

There is science, logic, reason; there is thought verified by experience. And then there is California.

Re: chat

I'll not listen to reason . . . . Reason always means what someone else has got to say.

Human history begins with man's act of disobedience which is at the very same time the beginning of his freedom and development of his reason.

Re: chat

God made man stronger but not necessarily more intelligent. He gave women intuition and femininity. And, used properly, that combination easily jumbles the brain of any man I've ever met.
