“If I am not mistaken, psychology, psychiatry and some branches of sociology, not to speak about the so-called philosophy of history, are even more affected by what I have called the scientistic prejudice, and by specious claims of what science can achieve.” IfsPhilosophySpeakPsychologyAchieveClaimsPrejudiceBranchesAffectedMistakenSociologyPsychiatry Author:Friedrich August von Hayek
“I have a simple answer to any American patriot who claims that there is no conflict between his love of country and his desire to hitch our fate to the United Nations: “You're mistaken.” And, therefore, I'm thinking of adding this corollary to my General Rule of patriotism: The more intellectually consistent and pro-U.N. you are, the less patriotic you are likely to be. I haven't thought that all the way through, but it seems right to me.” ThinkingWayCountrySeemsDesireNationsSimpleAnswersUnitedFateHavensConflictClaimsConsistentPatrioticPatriotMistakenUnited NationsHis LoveAmerican Patriot Author:Jonah Goldberg

“[Lost of the absolute] is in this sense that ''I no longer know what to do with my life" must be understood. Critics have been mistaken about the meaning of this phrase, seeing in it a cry of despair as in Simone de Beauvoir's "I have been cheated." When she uses this word it is to indicate that she claims from life an absolute which she cannot find there.” KnowsHas BeensUseLostSeeingCryDespairUnderstoodClaimsAbsolutesCriticsPhrasesMistakenCheated Author:Jean-Paul Sartre
“Is it fair to be suspicious of an entire profession because of a few bad apples? There are at least two important differences, it seems to me. First, no one doubts that science actually works, whatever mistaken and fraudulent claim may from time to time be offered. But whether there are any miraculous cures from faith-healing, beyond the body's own ability to cure itself, is very much at issue. Secondly, the expose' of fraud and error in science is made almost exclusively by science. But the exposure of fraud and error in faith-healing is almost never done by other faith-healers.” FirstsMayMadeTwoImportantDoneBodySeemsReligionDifferencesAbilityHealingIssuesDoubtFairsClaimsErrorsAtheistProfessionCuresApplesFraudMistakenExposureMiraculousSuspiciousHealerBad AppleFaith Healing Author:Carl Sagan
