I have come to the conclusion that Darwinism is not a testable scientific theory, but a metaphysical research programme.

True ignorance is not the absence of knowledge, but the refusal to acquire it.

The growth of knowledge depends entirely upon disagreement.

In so far as a scientific statement speaks about reality, it must be falsifiable; and in so far as it is not falsifiable, it does not speak about reality.

The question is not how to get good people to rule; THE QUESTION IS: HOW TO STOP THE POWERFUL from doing as much damage as they can to us.

If you can't say it simply and clearly, keep quiet, and keep working on it till you can.

The best thing that can happen to a human being us to find a problem, to fall in love with that problem, and to live trying to solve that problem, unless another problem even more lovable appears.

Ignorance is not a simple lack of knowledge but an active aversion to knowledge, the refusal to know, issuing from cowardice, pride, or laziness of mind.

A theory which is not refutable by any conceivable event is non-scientific. Irrefutability is not a virtue of a theory (as people often think) but a vice.

I may be wrong and you may be right, and by an effort, we may get nearer to the truth

The attempt to make heaven on earth invariably produces hell.

Men outlive their love, but they don’t outlive the consequences of their recklessness.

A crucial Elite group behind the Civil War was the Knights of the Golden Circle, again based in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Anything that you might want to be is around somewhere. You can become it. You just have to get into the state of mind that allows that to occur.

I am amazed by how many individuals mess up every new day with yesterday. They insist on bringing into today the failures of yesterday and in so doing, they pollute a potentially wonderful day.

In visualizing, or making a mental picture you are not endeavoring to change the laws of nature. You are fulfilling them.

If something is worth doing you may as well go heart and soul and boot leather.

What I need is to express my passion for life... It's movement I'm interested in, the life in me, the life in humanity.

We're not choosing the art, the art is choosing us. The pieces are choosing the walls where they hang.

Stop thinking about writing as art. Think of it as work. If you’re an artist, whatever you do is going to be art. If you’re not an artist, at least you can do a good day’s work.
