Harris Began

Famous quotes containing the words harris and/or began:

“Agnosticism is a perfectly respectable and tenable philosophical position; it is not dogmatic and makes no pronouncements about the ultimate truths of the universe. It remains open to evidence and persuasion; lacking faith, it nevertheless does not deride faith. Atheism, on the other hand, is as unyielding and dogmatic about religious belief as true believers are about heathens. It tries to use reason to demolish a structure that is not built upon reason.”
—Sydney J. Harris (1917–1986)

“All we discover has been with us since the sun began to roll; and much we discover, is not worth the discovering.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
