“ Governments represent their citizens in the same way as parasites represent their hosts. ”
A philosopher operates with deductions. A sophist operates with paradoxes. A public intellectual operates with buzzwords.
~ Jakub Bożydar Wiśniewski
Failure to find the truth is perhaps an intellectual defeat, but failure to look for the truth is an intellectual surrender.
Believing that there is a conflict between rationality and spirituality is like believing that there is a conflict between knowledge and inspiration.
The ultimate foundation of spirituality is the recognition that there can't be such a thing as a purposeful life in a purposeless universe.
