    “Well, at least I have the satisfaction of having destroyed a terrible monster, and in doing so rid the world of an awful curse.”

    “Daughters of Time, the hypocritic Days,
    Muffled and dumb like barefoot dervishes,”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Do you call it doubting to write down on a piece of paper that you doubt? If so, doubt has nothing to do with any serious business. But do not make believe; if pedantry has not eaten all the reality out of you, recognize, as you must, that there is much that you do not doubt, in the least. Now that which you do not at all doubt, you must and do regard as infallible, absolute truth.”
    —Charles Sanders Peirce (1839–1914)
