Science without philosophy, facts without perspective and valuation, cannot save us from havoc and despair. Science gives us knowledge, but only philosophy can give us wisdom.
Christianity did not destroy paganism; it adopted it.
History is mostly guessing; the rest is prejudice.
Our knowledge is a receding mirage in an expanding desert of ignorance.
Tolerance grows only when faith loses certainty; certainty is murderous.
Truth always originates in a minority of one, and every custom begins as a broken precedent.
