“Rationalization may be defined as self-deception by reasoning.”

Our Inner Conflicts: A Constructive Theory of Neurosis • Karen Horney

““The power and capacity of learning exists in the soul already; and that just as the eye was unable to turn from darkness to light without the whole body, so too the instrument of knowledge can only by the movement of the whole soul be turned from the world of becoming into that of being, and learn by degrees to endure the sight of being, and of the brightest and best of being, or in other words, of the good.””

Republic • Plato

“A man of genius makes no mistakes. His errors are volitional and are the portals of discovery.”

Ulysses • James Joyce

““How easy it is, Doctor, to be a philosopher on paper, and how difficult in real life!””

The Duel • Anton Chekhov

“It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts.”

A Scandal in Bohemia • Arthur Conan Doyle
