Errors Quotes
-
But in the end one also has to understand that the needs that religion has satisfied and philosophy is now supposed to satisfy are not immutable; they can be weakened and exterminated.

Friedrich Nietzsche

The true reader reads every work seriously in the sense that he reads it whole-heartedly, makes himself as receptive as he can. But for that very reason he cannot possibly read every work solemly or gravely. For he will read 'in the same spirit that the author writ.'...

C. S. Lewis

Whatever is almost true is quite false, and among the most dangerous of errors, because being so near truth, it is more likely to lead astray.
