Ibn Khaldun

"If the soul is impartial in receiving information, it devotes to that information the share of critical investigation the information deserves, and its truth or untruth thus becomes clear. However, if the soul is infected with partisanship for a particular opinion or sect, it accepts without a moment's hesitation the information that is agreeable to it. Prejudice and partisanship obscure the critical faculty and preclude critical investigation. The results is that falsehoods are accepted and transmitted."

-- Ibn Khaldun

Your face when I fulfilled you....I ache every time I think about it.”

“A British porch is a musty, forbidding non-room in which to fling a sodden umbrella or a muddy pair of boots; a guard against the elements and strangers.

“Moderation is an ostentatious proof of our strength of character....”
“My expectations are greater than the average fan's but, I'm more realistic than the top prognosticators.”
