Skylar's favorite quotes

""The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds, and the pessimist fears this is true."
"
James Branch Cabell

"The right to be heard does not automatically include the right to be taken seriously."
— Hubert Humphrey

"Whenever a man does a thouroughly stupid thing, it is always from the noblest of motives."
Oscar Wilde

1069006
"[M]an has been accustomed, ever since he was a boy, to having a dozen incompatible philosophies dancing about together inside his head. He doesn't think of doctrines as primarily "true" or "false," but as "academic" or "practical," "outworn" or "contemporary," "conventional" or "ruthless." Jargon, not argument, is your best ally in keeping him from the Church. Don't waste time trying to make him think that materialism is true! Make him think it is strong or stark or courageous—that it is the philosophy of the future. That's the sort of thing he cares about."
C.S. Lewis (The Screwtape Letters (Gift Edition))

"In the glad old days, before the rise of modern morbidities...it used to be thought a disadvantage to be misunderstood."
G.K. Chesterton (Heretics (Hendrickson Christian Classics))
