Reasonable Quotes (page 113)

No one is any longer carried away by the desire for the good to perform great things, no one is precipitated by evil into atrocious sins, and so there is nothing for either the good or the bad to talk about, and yet for that very reason people gossip all the more, since ambiguity is tremendously stimulating and much more verbose than rejoicing over goodness or repentance over evil. Soren Kierkegaard
Friedrich Nietzsche quote: "There is more reason in your body than in your best wisdom."
There is more reason in your body than in your best wisdom. Friedrich Nietzsche
You’re exactly like Charlie. Once you make up your mind, there is no reasoning with you. Of course, exactly like Charlie, you stick by your decisions, too. Stephenie Meyer
He had never liked October. Ever since he had first lay in the autumn leaves before his grandmother's house many years ago and heard the wind and saw the empty trees. It had made him cry, without a reason. And a little of that sadness returned each year to him. It always went away with spring. But, it was a little different tonight. There was a feeling of autumn coming to last a million years. There would be no spring. ("The October Game") Ray Bradbury

What does reason know? It knows only what it has managed to learn (and it may never learn anything else; that isn't very reassuring, but why not admit it?), while human nature acts as a complete entity, with all that is in it, consciously or unconsciously; and though it may be wrong, it's nevertheless alive. Fyodor Dostoevsky
To reason with goverments, as they have existed for ages, is to argue with brutes. It is only from the nations themselves that reforms can be expected Thomas Paine
Yet the only reason you believe that you were born is that your parents saw you emerge from the womb. They thought they witnessed the moment when you began to exist, so they spread the rumor that you had been born." Savitri was astonished. . . Deepak Chopra
Is it too much to expect from the schools that they train their students not only to interpret but to criticize; that is, to discriminate what is sound from error and falsehood, to suspend judgement if they are not convinced, or to judge with reason if they agree or disagree? Mortimer Adler
Blaise Pascal quote: "We are usually convinced more easily by reasons we have found..."
We are usually convinced more easily by reasons we have found ourselves than by those which have occurred to others. Blaise Pascal
The human brain is a complex organ with the wonderful power of enabling man to find reasons for continuing to believe whatever it is that he wants to believe. Voltaire
Richard Hofstadter quote: "It is a poor head that cannot find plausible reason for doing..."
It is a poor head that cannot find plausible reason for doing what the heart wants to do. Richard Hofstadter
It is their character indeed that makes people who they are. But it is by reason of their actions that they are happy or the reverse. Aristotle
