Belief Means Not Wanting To Know What Is True

“Religious doctrines … are all illusions, they do not admit of proof, and no one can be compelled to consider them as true or to believe in them.”

“Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth.”

“The opposite of a correct statement is a false statement. But the opposite of a profound truth may well be another profound truth.”

“If names be not correct, language is not in accordance with the truth of things.”

“Logic is the art of non-contradictory identification. A contradiction cannot exist. No concept man forms is valid unless he integrates it without contradiction into the total sum of his knowledge. To arrive at a contradiction is to confess an error in one’s thinking; to maintain a contradiction is to abdicate one’s mind and to evict oneself from the realm of reality”

“You can recognize a small truth because its opposite is a falsehood. The opposite of a great truth is another truth.”
