I always admired Mrs. Grote's saying that politics and theology were the only two really great subjects.

Any argument that is built wholly upon the denigration of another, without any reference to evidence or support from logic, must be very fragile indeed

Insolence is not logic; epithets are the arguments of malice.

A person can use his mind when working on matter; then logic is a great instrument. And the same person can put aside the mind when he moves into his meditation chamber and moves into the no-mind. Because mind is not you -- it is just an instrument just like my hand, just like my legs.
