“I think that the philosopher must, for his own purposes, carry methodological strictness to an extreme when he is investigating and pursuing his truths, but when he is ready to enunciate them and give them out, he ought to avoid the cynical skill with which some scientists, like a Hercules at the fair, amuse themselves by displaying to the public the biceps of their technique.”
History as a System • Jose Ortega y Gasset“Who but a stupid barbarian could burn so much beauty in his stove and destroy that which he cannot make?”
Seagull • Anton Chekhov“Dogmatics must be designed in this way. Above all, every science must vigorously lay hold of its own beginning and not live in complicated relations with other sciences. If dogmatics begins by wanting to explain sinfulness or by wanting to prove its actuality, no dogmatics will come out of it, but the entire existence of dogmatics will become problematic and vague.”
The Concept of Anxiety • Soren Kierkegaard“Physiologists and molecular biologists regularly fall into the trap of overlooking this distinction, which is fundamental to biology, history, and human behavior. Physiology and molecular biology can do no more than identify proximate mechanisms; only evolutionary biology can provide ultimate causal explanations.”
Why Is Sex Fun?: The Evolution of Human Sexuality • Jared Diamond“Too often the strong, silent man is silent only because he does not know what to say, and is reputed strong only because he has remained silent.”
Never Give In! • Winston S Churchill
