Intuition does not in itself amount to knowledge, yet cannot be disregarded by philosophers and psychologists.

I think . . . that philosophy has the duty of pointing out the falsity of outworn religious ideas, however estimable they may be as a form of art. We cannot act as if all religion were poetry while the greater part of it still functions in its ancient guise of illicit science and backward morals. . . .

True freedom is the capacity for acting according to one's true character, to be altogether one's self, to be self-determined and not subject to outside coercion.

I believe firmly that in making ethical decisions, man has the prerogative of true freedom of choice.
