Tuesday, December 02, 2003 Today's Quote: We are generally the better persuaded by the reasons we discover ourselves than by those given to us by others. Blaise Pascal (1623 - 1662) Sad, but true. Do we ever respect Truth enough to be persuaded by the compelling arguments of others? Rarely, I think. If only I had followed this insight before engaging in fruitless arguments with the lost and beknighted. (But as a parent, you always want to help any child you see who is about to hurt himself; even though that child may curse you out for interferring.) Why be a man when you can be a success? Bertolt Brecht (1898 - 1956) Hmm, let's see, Bertold, are you speaking of yourself here? A communist, who, when confronted with Stalin's horrors decided not to renounce him and communism because you wanted your work to live on after your death. How very manly. Also, in escaping Nazism, you didn't flee to the Worker's Paradise of the Soviet Union, but came where? To America, of course! The Capitalist Nightmare. posted by Mark Butterworth | 3:33 PM | |
