coldcreation Posted December 16, 2011 Report Share Posted December 16, 2011 "A sane mind should not be guilty of a logical fallacy, yet there are very fine minds incapable of following mathematical demonstrations."

modest Posted December 24, 2011 Report Share Posted December 24, 2011 Beware the irrational, however seductive. Shun the 'transcendent' and all who invite you to subordinate or annihilate yourself. Distrust compassion; prefer dignity for yourself and others. Don't be afraid to be thought arrogant or selfish. Picture all experts as if they were mammals. Never be a spectator of unfairness or stupidity. Seek out argument and disputation for their own sake; the grave will supply plenty of time for silence. Suspect your own motives, and all excuses. Do not live for others any more than you would expect others to live for you. ~Christopher Hitchens 1949-2011 :( Turtle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
