“When every event was a miracle, when there was no order or system or law, there was no occasion for studying any subject, or being interested in anything excepting a religion which took care of the soul. As man doubted the primitive conceptions about religion, and no longer accepted the literal, miraculous teachings of ancient books, he set himself to understand nature.” MenBookSoulCareLawOrderStudyAtheismTeachingSubjectsEventsMiracleAncientPositive AtheismAcceptedOccasionsConceptionPrimitiveMiraculousLiteralDoubted Author:Clarence Darrow
“On the whole, God’s love for us is a much safer subject to think about than our love for Him. Nobody can always have devout feelings: and even if we could, feelings are not what God principally cares about. Christian Love, either towards God or towards man, is an affair of the will.” IfsThinkingMenWholeFeelingsCareChristianSubjectsAffairOur LoveGod's LoveChristian Love Book:A Mind Awake: An Anthology of C.

“I believe - I know (there are not many things I should care to dogmatize about, on the subject of writing) that writers need solitude, and seek alienation of a kind every day of their working lives. (And remember, they are not even aware when and when not they are working.) ... The tension between standing apart and being fully involved; that is what makes a writer.” KnowsNeedsShouldWritingBelieveKindCareRememberI BelieveSubjectsInvolvedSolitudeStandingTensionAlienationWorking LifeStanding Apart Book:Selected Stories Source: Selected Stories

“Most men appear to think that the art of despotic government is statesmanship, and what men affirm to be unjust and inexpedient in their own case they are not ashamed of practicing towards others; they demand just rule for themselves, but where other men are concerned they care nothing about it. Such behavior is irrational; unless the one party is, and the other is not, born to serve, in which case men have a right to command, not indeed all their fellows, but only those who are intended to be subjects; just as we ought not to hunt mankind, whether for food or sacrifice . .” ThinkingMenArtGovernmentCareBornPartyCasesSacrificeSubjectsMankindHuman NatureOughtDemandBehaviorConcernedFellowsCommandAshamedIrrationalUnjustHuntsStatesmanshipCommand Not Author:Aristotle

“The general public doesn't know and probably doesn't care about punctuated equilibria nor indeed should they, or the greenhouse effect on some other planet - they barely have the ability to cope with the greenhouse effect on their own planet. So I think you have to distinguish between the broad visibility of a scientist when he or she is speaking to a general public and trying to address general issues and the continued position that a scientist may have into the history of a particular subject.” ThinkingKnowsShouldTryingMayCareAbilityIssuesSubjectsEffectsPositionParticularPlanetsScientistAddressesBroadsEquilibriumGreenhousesGeneral PublicVisibility Author:Richard Lewontin
