I have never yet met a healthy person who worried very much about his health, or a really good person who worried much about his own soul.

It seems to me immensely unlikely that mind is a mere by-product of matter. For if my mental processes are determined wholly by the motions of atoms in my brain I have no reason to suppose that my beliefs are true. They may be sound chemically, but that does not make them sound logically. And hence I have no reason for supposing my brain to be composed of atoms.

I have never yet met a healthy person who worried very much about his health, or a really good person who worried much about his own soul.

This is my prediction for the future: Whatever hasn't happened will happen, and no one will be safe from it.

Capitalism, though it may not always give the scientific worker a living wage, will always protect him, as being one of the geese which produce golden eggs for its table.

I will jump into the river to save two brothers or eight cousins.

If materialism is true, it seems to me that we cannot know that it is true. If my opinions are the result of the chemical processes going on in my brain, they are determined by the laws of chemistry, not those of logic.
