“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.”

“Logic is present in both the master and the fool. Logic to the fool is: "If I attack the neighbor, I get his food and his house and his wife." Logic to the master is: "If I build 8,000 houses, it will solve the problem of all the fools attacking their neighbors and stealing their wives!" The moral of the story is: be careful what you make sense of. Something will always make total sense, to the person making sense of it.”
