“The fact that an opinion has been widely held is no evidence whatever that it is not utterly absurd; indeed in view of the silliness of the majority of mankind, a widely spread belief is more likely to be foolish than sensible.”
Okay, first off let me say that there's no guarantee that all of these quotes are genuine. And I dont really care, quite frankly. This blog is devoted to quotes, good quotes containing good ideas that make sense of some sort to me. I call them "quotes" because they don't come from my own head, but from other sources, and I have a passion for accuracy (or something like that). Also, 'cause I sure do love me some quotes. Sure, it's silly to require some sort of Authority to validate good words and thoughts (assuming the quote is real, of course), but that doesn't make the words and thoughts any the less for that. So I put them here, in this blog, for my own reference and the edification of passers-by.
