Quote
Love Alone Triumphs (The Sonnet)Great people have often said,Truth alone triumphs.I am no great but a plain human,So I say, love alone triumphs.Truth may require intellect,Inquiry requires some cynicism.To be loving needs none of that,Love lights up the darkest chasm.Keep your intellect if you desire,Explore further the arc of truth.But all the discovery means nothing,If countless souls go without food.It is far better to be an insane lover,Than to be a heartless discoverer.

Quote
If mind is seen not as a threat but as a guide to emotion, if intellect is seen neither as a guarantee of character nor as an inevitable danger to it, if theory is conceived as something serviceable but not necessarily subordinate or inferior to practice, and if our democratic aspirations are defined in such realistic and defensible terms as to admit of excellence, all these supposed antagonisms lose their force.

Quote
They don't read, and they can't write to save their lives. They've never heard of most of the presidents of the United States, they think America won the war in Vietnam, they think Prohibition was a law that made it illegal to own slaves.That was Cole's father, fuming about his students. Cole suspects at least some of this could also be said about Tracy.And it's not just what they don't know, it's what they don't want to know.Tracy is what his father would call intellectually lazy.

Quote
An Idea is nothing but Information, It won't do us any harm until we accept it as perception of truth in our mind, which in time will potentially evolve and construct major events in history.

Quote
A professional headshot in front of a bookshelf says you're an intellectual. A professional headshot peeking though a bookshelf says you're probably under a restraining order.
