Natural Reason

Famous quotes containing the words natural and/or reason:

    Man is, then, only disguise, falsehood, hypocrisy—both in himself and in regard to others. He does not wish any one to tell him the truth; he avoids telling it to others; and all these dispositions, so removed from justice and reason, have a natural root in his heart.
    Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)

    The reason for the sadness of this modern age and the men who live in it is that it looks for the truth in everything and finds it.
    Edmond De Goncourt (1822–1896)
