|  I am too weary to listen, too angry to hear. | | But in action, one defies one's character. | | When theology erodes and organization crumbles, when the institutional framework of religion begins to break up, the search for a direct experience which people can feel to be religious facilitates the rise of cults. | | Technology, like art, is a soaring exercise of the human imagination. | | Europe, in legend, has always been the home of subtle philosophical discussion; America was the land of grubby pragmatism. | | The intellectual takes as a starting point his self and relates the world to his own sensibilities; the scientist accepts an existing field of knowledge and seeks to map out the unexplored terrain. | | The impulse of the journalist is to be novel, yet to relate his curiosities to the urgencies of the moment; the philosopher seeks what he conceives to be true, regardless of the moment. |
