“The whole is a riddle, an enigma, an inexplicable mystery. Doubt, uncertainty, suspence of judgment appear the only result of ourmost accurate scrutiny, concerning this subject. But such is the frailty of human reason, and such the irresistible contagion of opinion, that even this deliberate doubt could scarcely be upheld; did we not enlarge our view, and opposing one species of superstition to another, set them a quarrelling; while we ourselves, during their fury and contention, happily make our escape into the calm, though obscure, regions of philosophy.” HumansReasonPhilosophyWholeResultsViewsOpinionDoubtMysterySubjectsJudgmentPhilosophicalSpeciesCalmUncertaintyRegionsSuperstitionsAccurateObscureDeliberateFuryIrresistibleOpposingRiddleScrutinyContentionInexplicableFrailtyEnigmaContagionHuman Reason Author:David Hume

“Men who allow their love of power to give them a distorted view of the world are to be found in every asylum: one man will think he is the Governor of the Bank of England, another will think he is the King, and yet another will think he is God. Highly similar delusions, if expressed by educated men in obscure language, lead to professorships of philosophy; and if expressed by emotional men in eloquent language, lead to dictatorships.” IfsThinkingMenWorldGivingPhilosophyFoundLanguageViewsEmotionalKingsEnglandEducatedDelusionOne ManGovernorsDictatorshipObscureEloquentAsylumsEducated ManProfessorship Book:Power: A New Social Analysis Source: Power: A New Social Analysis

“I had to re-write "Philosophy" a lot. It was more obscure than what's in the book now, even! Some things I had to go back to and excise my former self, who was even more dense. I think you should teach whatever you want, Brian! That's the point of books like White Girls, to help free our thoughts!” ThinkingWantShouldWritingBookSelfPhilosophyHelpingGirlWhiteTeachFormerOur ThoughtsObscureDenseBrianWhite Girl Author:Hilton Als
