  1. A quotation from Hannah Arendt

    If, as I suggested before, the ability to tell right from wrong should turn out to have anything to do with the ability to think, then we must be able to “demand” its exercise from every sane person, no matter how erudite or ignorant, intelligent or stupid, he may happen to be.

    Hannah Arendt (1906-1975) German-American philosopher, political theorist
    Life of the Mind, Vol. 1 “Thinking,” Introduction (1977)

  2. A quotation from Terry Pratchett

    There were times that called for mindless, terror-filled panic, and times that called for measured, considered, thoughtful panic.

  3. A quotation from Henry Commager

    When a people are confronted with problems that are both incomprehensible and unbearable, they lash out not at those who contrived the problems but at those who expose them. When they are confronted by moral problems that they find insoluble, or perhaps intolerable, they blame the moralists. The anxieties, tensions, revulsions of our day create an atmosphere in which it is almost impossible to think clearly and dispassionately about just those problems which most imperatively require reason and objectivity — problems of adjustment to fundamental change.

    Henry Steele Commager (1902-1998) American historian, writer, activist
    Speech (1971-04-10), “The University and the Community of Learning,” Kent State University, Ohio

    «
    Although the proportion of those who do think be extremely small, yet every individual flatters himself that he is one of the number.
