“If fallacies come knocking at my door,I'd rather feed, and shelter full a score,Than hide behind the black portcullis, doubt,And run the risk of barring one Truth out.And if pretension for a time deceive,And prove me one too ready to believe,Far less my shame, than if by stubborn act,I brand as lie, some great colossal Fact.” IfsBelieveFactsRunningLyingBlackBehindsDoubtRiskDoorsReadyProveShameBrandsScoreShelterDeceivingStubbornKnockingFallacyPretensionColossal Book:Leafs On An Idle Breeze - My Inspirational Poems (Annotated Edition) Source: Leafs On An Idle Breeze - My Inspirational Poems (Annotated Edition)
“Any given man sees only a tiny portion of the total truth, and very often, in fact almost ... perpetually, he deliberately deceives himself about that little precious fragment as well.” MenWellsLittlesFactsTruthGivenTinyPortionsDeceivingFragments Book:A Scanner Darkly Source: A Scanner Darkly
“Doth some one say that there be gods above? There are not; no, there are not. Let no fool, Led by the old false fable, thus deceive you. Look at the facts themselves, yielding my words, No undue credence: for I say that kings kill, rob, break oaths, lay cities waste by fraud, And doing thus are happier than those, Who live calm pious lives day after day. All divinity is built-up from our good and evil luck.” LooksFactsEvilCitiesBreakAtheismFoolKingsWasteBuiltLuckLaysCalmDivinityGood And EvilFraudDeceivingOathPiousFablesCredence Author:Euripides
