The greatest harm done is to those who are not heretics, and whose whole mental development is cramped and their reason cowed, by the fear of heresy.” ReasonDoneWholeOpinionDevelopmentSpeechFairsHarmOppressionDiscussionHeresyThoroughHereticFree Thought Book:On Liberty Source: On Liberty
“The development of the doctrine of international arbitration, considered from the standpoint of its ultimate benefits to the human race, is the most vital movement of modern times.

“Psychohistory, like psychoanalysis, is a science in which the researcher's feelings are as much or even more a part of his research equipment than his eyes or his hands. Weighing of complex motives can only be accomplished by identification with human actors, the usual suppression of all feeling preached and followed by most "science" simply cripples a psychohistorian as badly as it would cripple a biologist to be forbidden the use of a microscope. The emotional development of a psychohistorian is therefore as much a topic for discussion as his or her intellectual development.” HumansUseFeelingsHandsEyeActorsEmotionalDevelopmentIntellectualResearchComplexesDiscussionMotiveHis EyesAccomplishedUsualTopicsEquipmentForbiddenPsychoanalysisResearchersIdentificationSuppressionMicroscopesBiologistCripplesWeighingIntellectual DevelopmentEmotional Development Author:Lloyd deMause

“Just as it wouldn't be right to only to have an economic dialogue with China, equally you shouldn't restrict your dialogue solely to issues around, say, human rights. You can raise all those issues, and that is what reflects a mature discussion. So I don't think essentially we have to choose between being partners in China's economic development and being proud defenders of British values.” ThinkingHumansValuesIssuesRightsEconomicDevelopmentProudRaisesHuman RightsChinaBritishPartnersDialogueDiscussionMatureBe ProudDefendersEconomic Development Author:George Osborne
