You can only find truth with logic if you have already found truth without it.

Quentin Lauer (1992)

The morbid logician seeks to make everything lucid, and succeeds in making everything mysterious.

There is a thought that stops thought. That is the only thought that ought to be stopped.

Orthodoxy (1908)

A man's opinion on tramcars matters; his opinion on Botticelli matters; his opinion on all things does not matter. He may turn over and explore a million objects, but he must not find that strange object, the universe; for if he does he will have a religion, and be lost. Everything matters — except everything.
