Argumentation Quotes (page 20)

Ambrose Bierce quote: "GRAPESHOT, n. An argument which the future is preparing in..."
GRAPESHOT, n. An argument which the future is preparing in answer to the demands of American Socialism. Ambrose Bierce
I couldn't have written [What Good Are The Arts?] because I--and I'm not alone, by any means--do not have Carey's breadth of reading, nor his calm, wry logic, which enables him to demolish the arguments of just about everyone who has ever talked tosh about objective aesthetic principles. And this group, it turns out, includes anyone who has ever talked about objective aesthetic principles. Nick Hornby
Beware the irrational, however seductive. Shun the ‘transcendent’ and all who invite you to subordinate or annihilate yourself. Don’t be afraid to be thought arrogant or selfish. Picture all experts as if they were mammals. Never be a spectator of unfairness or stupidity. Seek out argument and disputation for their own sake; the grave will provide plenty of time for silence. Christopher Hitchens
The senator had only one argument in his favour: his feeling. When the heart speaks, the mind finds it indecent to object. In the realm of kitsch, the dictatorship of the heart reigns supreme. Milan Kundera
He had never once felt itchy, in the way that two connecting pieces of a jigsaw never felt itchy, as far as one could tell. If one were to imagine, for the sake of argument, that jigsaw pieces had thoughts and feelings, then it was possible to imagine them saying to themselves, 'I'm going to stay here. Where else would I go?' And if another jigsaw piece came along, offering its tabs and blanks enticingly in an attempt to lure one of the pieces away, it would be easy to resist temptation.... Nick Hornby
My argument is that history is made by men and women, just as it can also be unmade and rewritten, always with various silence and elisions, always with shapes imposed and disfigurements tolerated. Edward Said
Reason sits firm and holds the reins, and she will not let the feelings burst away and hurry her to wild chasms. The passions may rage furiously, like true heathens, as they are; and the desires may imagine all sorts of vain things: but judgment shall still have the last word in every argument, and the casting vote in every decision. Strong wind, earthquake-shock, and fire may pass by: but I shall follow the guiding of that still small voice which interprets the dictates of conscience. Charlotte Bronte
What good the prophet in the wilderness may do is incremental and personal. It's good for us to hear someone speak the irrational truth. It's good for us when, in spite of all of the sober, pragmatic, and even correct arguments that war is sometimes necessary someone says: war is large-scale murder, us at our worst, the stupidest guy doing the cruelest thing to the weakest being. George Saunders
Epicurus quote: "Empty is the argument of the philosopher which does not..."
Empty is the argument of the philosopher which does not relieve any human suffering. Epicurus
Johann Most quote: "As set forth by theologians, the idea of 'God' is an argument..."
As set forth by theologians, the idea of 'God' is an argument that assumes its own conclusions, and proves nothing. Johann Most
News, by and large, has been the purest of all the television mediums, or at least we've tried to keep it that way, and there constantly is the argument about the separation between church and state. Leslie Moonves
William Henry Moody quote: "It was an argument of rare power and eloquence."
It was an argument of rare power and eloquence. William Henry Moody
At the conclusion of my argument I received very high compliments from the Chief Justice and later from other of the Judges. What they said I do not care to repeat. William Henry Moody
Michel de Montaigne quote: "He who establishes his argument by noise and command shows..."
He who establishes his argument by noise and command shows that his reason is weak. Michel de Montaigne
Kevin Mitnick quote: "My argument is not that I shouldn't have been punished, but..."
My argument is not that I shouldn't have been punished, but that the punishment didn't fit the crime. Kevin Mitnick
