Shermer wasn't flying high when he said:
Quote
The human capacity for self-delusion is boundless, and the effects of belief are overpowering.

Oh Sagan you hear me now?
Quote
It is far better to grasp the universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.

Presenting the latest release from Rohn-co records:
Quote
Affirmation without discipline is the beginning of delusion.

I feel a little schadenFreude at the effect of my puns so here is a quote that will appease some of you
Quote
Time spent with cats is never wasted.

I will not reKant my position that the complaint forum is a good thing.
Quote
If man makes himself a worm he must not complain when he is trodden on.

Some people Lovecrafting others like cats
Quote
Of course, so far as personal taste goes, I'm no lover of humanity. To me cats are in every way more graceful and worthy of respect - but I don't try to raise my personal bias to the spurious dignity of a dogmatic generality.

I'll just Kuyper coming as the mood hits me.
Quote
When the principles that run against your deepest convictions begin to win the day, then the battle is your calling, and peace has become sin. You must at the price of dearest peace lay your convictions bare before friend and enemy with all the fire of your faith.

“Much talking is the cause of danger. Silence is the means of avoiding misfortune. The talkative parrot is shut up in a cage. Other birds, without speech, fly freely about.”

Why not take Pundita's advice, before I'm forced to strangulate you :P

Ah the lonely Pandita gazed longingly into the eyes of Senor Panda thinking
Quote
“If a wise man behaves prudently, how can he be overcome by his enemies? Even a single man, by right action, can overcome a host of foes.”

Wasn't their a French movie about Buddha bien sur, no wait it was an American movie about Juddah Ben-Hur!
Quote
When one has the feeling of dislike for evil, when one feels tranquil, one finds pleasure in listening to good teachings; when one has these feelings and appreciates them, one is free of fear.

I'm afraid I cannot do the Service you request
Quote
I have an intense dislike for artificial society. In France, one could lead a free life - to do what one wanted to do without interference or criticism from one's neighbors.

Do you hear much encouragement in the streets? We need to encourage each other.

The Bartman ses it is time to get your Barton
Quote
Some readers allow their prejudices to blind them. A good reader knows how to disregard inappropriate responses.

Getting behind the wheel of a restored Beaumont one gets a touch of nostalgia
Quote
Interest makes some people blind, and others quick-sighted.

Monogrammed his 'n Herzen the bathroom is a cliche.
Quote
It is possible to lead astray an entire generation, to strike it blind, to drive it insane, to direct it towards a false goal. Napoleon proved this.

I wonder how this might be said in thieve's Kant
Quote
Experience without theory is blind, but theory without experience is mere intellectual play.

The secret of life is honesty and fair dealing. If you can fake that, you've got it made.

Full marx for this one.

Chaos in the world brings uneasiness, but it also allows the opportunity for creativity and growth.
My mind is getting Borked,
Quote
A society deadened by a smothering network of laws while finding release in moral chaos is not likely to be either happy or stable.
my blood is starting to Boyle!
Quote
You can reconstruct the picture from chaos and memory's ruins.

Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting.
