Alfred North Whitehead1 quote
Rationalism is an adventure in the clarification of thought. — Alfred North Whitehead · 1928Charles Baudelaire1 quote
All that is beautiful and noble is the result of reason and calculation. — Charles Baudelaire · 1863David Hume1 quote
If we take in our hand any volume; of divinity or school metaphysics, for instance; let us ask, Does it contain any abstract reasoning concerning quantity or number? No. Does it contain any experimental reasoning, concerning matter of fact and existence? No. Commit it then to the flames: For it can contain nothing but sophistry and illusion. — David Hume · 1748
