On Thinking

frenchc1955's avatarcharles french words reading and writing

β€œThe examined life is not worth living.” Socrates

β€œImagination is more important than knowledge.” Albert Einstein

β€œThought is subversive and revolutionary, destructive and terrible; thought is merciless to privilege; thought is anarchic and lawless, indifferent to authority, careless of well-tried wisdom of the ages. Thought looks into the pit of hell and is not afraid. It sees man, a feeble speck, surrounded by unfathomable depths of silence; yet it bears itself proudly, as unmoved as if it were lord of the universe. Thought is great and swift and free, the light of the world, and the chief glory of man” (Russell, Bertrand. Why Men Fight 178-9).

β€œAll good writing is inherently subversive.” Charles French

    Spell checker I guess, which is mostly stupid πŸ™‚ Unexamined is what Socrates meant. πŸ™‚
