Aldous Huxley Quotes
Give Us This Day Our Daily Faith, But Deliver Us, Dear God, From Belief.
Faith Is Something Very Different From Belief. Belief Is The Systematic Taking Of Unanalyzed Words Much Too Seriously. Paul's Words, Mohammed's Words, Marx's Words, Hitler's Words
people Take Them Too Seriously, And What Happens? What Happens Is The Senseless Ambivalence Of History
sadism Versus Duty, Or (incomparably Worse) Sadism As Duty; Devotion Counterbalanced By Organized Paranoia; Sisters Of Charity Selflessly Tending The Victims Of Their Own Church's Inquisitors And Crusaders. Faith, On The Contrary, Can Never Be Taken Too Seriously. For Faith Is The Empirically Justified Confidence In Our Capacity To Know Who In Fact We Are, To Forget The Belief-intoxicated Manichee In Good Being.
