Both ways save us from thinking. - Alfred Korzybski The one who relies on authority during a discussion does not use his mind but his memory. - Leonardo da Vinci Don't join the book burners. Don't think you are going to conceal thoughts by concealing evidence that they ever existed. - Dwight D. Eisenhower I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use. - Galileo Galilei Men fear thought as they fear nothing else on earth, more than ruin - more even than death.... Thought is subversive and revolutionary, destructive and terrible, thought is merciless to privilege, established institutions, and comfortable habit. Thought looks into the pit of hell and is not afraid. Thought is great and swift and free, the light of the world, and the chief glory of man. - Bertrand Russell If most of us are ashamed of shabby clothes and shoddy furniture, let us be more ashamed of shabby ideas and shoddy philosophies. - Albert Einstein | Return to Meditations Menu | Copyright © 2004 Interrogative Imperative Institute.
