Quote by Marcus Viveiro

“Strong, uncontrolled emotions can become a cage. Fear can paralyze. Anger can consume. Jealousy can be blind. In those moments, freedom shrinks — because we no longer choose. The emotion chooses for us.”

“Pragmatism, by its very name, poses above all as a 'pholosophy of action'; its more or less avowed assumption is that man only has needs of a practical order, material ones and, together with these, sentimental ones. It means, then, the doing away with intellectuality; but, if this is so, why go on wanting to evolve theories? That is rather hard to understand; and if pragmatism, like skepticism, which it only differs from with regard to action, wished to conform to its own standards, it would have to limit itself to a mere mental attitude, which it cannot even seek to justify logically without giving itself the lie; but there is no doubt that it is very difficult to keep strictly within such bounds.”
