I do not think that the real reason why people accept religion has anything to do with argumentation. They accept religion on emotional grounds.

No opinion has ever been too errant to become a creed.

The teaching of Christ, as it appears in the Gospels, has had extraordinarily little to do with the ethics of Christians.

For a good notation has a subtlety and suggestiveness which at times make it seem almost like a live teacher.

Every philosophical problem, when it is subjected to the necessary analysis and justification, is found either to be not really philosophical at all, or else to be, in the sense in which we are using the word, logical.

I have found, for example, that if I have to write upon sum rather difficult topic, the best plan is to think about it with very great intensity-the greatest intensity of which I am capable-for a few hours or days, and at the end of that time give orders, so to speak (to my subconscious mind) that the work is to proceed underground. After some months I return consciously to the topic and find that the work has been done.

Look at me. Look at me is one of the fundamental desires of human heart.
