Frivolous Arguments

Famous quotes containing the words frivolous and/or arguments:

    No love is entirely without worth, even when the frivolous calls to the frivolous and the base to the base.
    Iris Murdoch (b. 1919)

    It has often been argued that absolute scepticism is self-contradictory; but this is a mistake: and even if it were not so, it would be no argument against the absolute sceptic, inasmuch as he does not admit that no contradictory propositions are true. Indeed, it would be impossible to move such a man, for his scepticism consists in considering every argument and never deciding upon its validity; he would, therefore, act in this way in reference to the arguments brought against him.
    Charles Sanders Peirce (1839–1914)
