Apa yang membuat seseorang percaya pada setumpuk bukti adalah sebuah ?daftar? dari apa yang diinginkannya yang seringkali tidak ia sadari sepenuhnya. Apabila seseorang disuguhkan fakta yang berlawanan dengan insting nya, ia akan menutupnya rapat- rapat, kecuali bila fakta itu sudah terlalu banyak, ia bahkan akan menolak untuk mempercayainya. Di sisi lain, bila ia disuguhkan fakta yang sesuai dengan instingnya meskipun tidak memadai, ia cenderung akan menerimanya. Mitos sejati harus dilihat melalui cara ini.

So far as I can remember, there is not one word in the Gospels in praise of intelligence.

No; we have been as usual asking the wrong question. It does not matter a hoot what the mockingbird on the chimney is singing. The real and proper question is: Why is it beautiful?

Religions, which condemn the pleasures of sense, drive men to seek the pleasures of power. Throughout history power has been the vice of the ascetic.

Freedom comes only to those who no longer ask of life that it shall yield them any of those personal goods that are subject to the mutations of time.

We are faced with the paradoxical fact that education has become one of the chief obstacles to intelligence and freedom of thought.
