Mortimer J. Adler Quotes

The Trouble Is That Many People Regard Disagreement As Unrelated To Either Teaching Or Being Taught. They Think That Everything Is Just A Matter Of Opinion. I Have Mine, And You Have Yours; And Our Right To Our Opinions Is As Inviolable As Our Right To Private Property. On Such A View, Communication Cannot Be Profitable If The Profit To Be Gained Is An Increase In Knowledge. Conversation Is Hardly Better Than A Ping-pong Game Of Opposed Opinions, A Game In Which No One Keeps Score, No One Wins, And Everyone Is Satisfied Because He Does Not Lose - That Is, He Ends Up Holding The Same Opinions He Started With.
