Rhetoric is useful because the true and the just are naturally superior to their opposites, so that, if decisions are improperly made, they must owe their defeat to their own advocates; which is reprehensible.

For scientific discourse is concerned with instruction, but in the case of such persons instruction is impossible.

The only thing that counted was high arching guitar solos...
