“No great deed is done by falterers who ask for certainty.” — George Eliot Quote

“No great deed is done by falterers who ask for certainty.”

“Dogma gives a charter to mistake, but the very breath of science is a contest with mistake, and must keep the conscience alive.”

“The presence of a noble nature, generous in its wishes, ardent in its charity, changes the lights for us: we begin to see things again in their larger, quieter masses, and to believe that we too can be seen and judged in the wholeness of our character.”

“You know, in our culture today, our Western, reductionist, Roman, linear, fragmented... culture, we don't ask how to make a pig happy. We ask how to grow it faster, fatter, bigger, cheaper, and that's not a noble goal.”

“The questions which one asks oneself begin, at least, to illuminate the world, and become one's key to the experience of others.”

“If you ask me my opinion, if you're a rapper in this game, you oughta have a license to be able to carry a weapon.”
