cool reason

"To argue with a person who has renounced the use of reason is like administering medicine to the dead."


-- Thomas Paine, The Crisis





"Those who will not reason, are bigots, those who cannot, are fools, and those who dare not, are slaves."

-- George Gordon Byron





And yet...

"Lovers and madmen have such seething brains

Such shaping fantasies, that apprehend

More than cool reason ever comprehends."

-- William Shakespeare, A Midsummer Night's Dream
