  1. A quotation from Montaigne

    Why cannot we remember all the contradictions which we feel within our own judgement, and how many things which were articles of belief for us yesterday are fables for us today?
     
    [Que ne nous souvient il combien nous sentons de contradiction en nostre jugement mesmes ? combien de choses nous servoient hyer d’articles de foy, qui nous sont fables aujourd’huy?]

    Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592) French essayist
    Essays, Book 1, ch. 26 (1.26), “It Is Folly to Measure the True and the False by Our Own Capacity [C’est folie de rapporter le vray et le faux à nostre suffisance]” (1572) [tr. Screech (1987), 1.27]

  15. The absence of details (eg, skin blemishes, readable fine-print text, etc) in most dreams means you're looking at an idealised image of what the brain expects or wants to see, without it being checked against sensory input.

  20. A quotation from Terry Pratchett

       “I don’t hold with paddlin’ with the occult,” said Granny firmly. “Once you start paddlin’ with the occult you start believing in spirits, and when you start believing in spirits you start believing in demons, and then before you know where you are you’re believing in gods. And then you’re in trouble.”
       “But all them things exist,” said Nanny Ogg.
       “That’s no call to go around believing in them. It only encourages ’em.”

    Terry Pratchett (1948-2015) English author
    Discworld No. 14, Lords and Ladies (1992)

  25. “In a free society you can criticise any country or ideology. You can criticise capitalism, communism, socialism, imperialism, or any other -ism. You can argue that whatever ideology you dislike has no place in society. You can say that an ideology is racist or dangerous. People can and do say that all the time and they never get sacked… unless they do it about Zionism.

    By the same token you can criticise the US, Europe, Russia, China or whatever place you think is causing massive problems for the world. But every journalist knows they mustn’t speak too harshly of Israel, even when it’s committing genocide. The fact that it’s so difficult to criticise Israel compared to any other country proves Miller was right. Zionism is the problem”
