If you are
merely a sceptic, you must sooner or later ask yourself the question,
"Why should ANYTHING go right; even observation and deduction?
Why should not good logic be as misleading as bad logic?
They are both movements in the brain of a bewildered ape?"
The young sceptic says, "I have a right to think for myself."
But the old sceptic, the complete sceptic, says, "I have no right
to think for myself. I have no right to think at all."
There is a thought that stops thought. That is the only thought
that ought to be stopped.
There is a thought that stops thought. That is the only thought that ought to be stopped.
Chesterton, 1908.
