Arguments Quotes

I grew up in a family that despised displays of strong emotion, rage in particular. We stewed. We sulked.

It is a pet peeve of mine when people throw around arguments citing ‘Fair Use’ and yet fail to actually explain what a fair use argument actually is Picture Quote #1

In science , all conclusions are provisional, subject to new evidence and better arguments, the very antithesis of religious faith Picture Quote #1

It’s very hard to make arguments about the effects of cloning on family relations if family relations are in tatters Picture Quote #1

...[T]he only means I have to stop ignorant snobs from behaving towards genre fiction with snobbish ignorance is to not reinforce their ignorance and snobbery by lying and saying that when I write SF it isn’t SF, but to tell them more or less patiently for forty or fifty years that they are wrong to exclude SF and fantasy from literature, and proving my arguments by writing well Picture Quote #1

I am trying to get at the moral arguments and the ethical status of various attempts at enhancement, or genetic engineering, or the bid for designer children. But there are implications for society at large Picture Quote #1

Philosophy is this amazing technique we’ve devised for getting reality to answer us back when we’re getting it wrong. Science itself can’t make those arguments. You actually have to rely on philosophy, on philosophy of science Picture Quote #1

I went into politics thinking that, if I made arguments in good faith, I’d get a hearing. It’s a reasonable assumption, but it’s wrong. In five and a half years in politics up north, no one really bothered to criticize my ideas, such as they were. It was never my message that was the issue. It was always the messenger Picture Quote #1

A dark cloud is no sign that the sun has lost his light; and dark black convictions are no arguments that God has laid aside His mercy Picture Quote #1

A poet’s work is to name the unnamable, to point at frauds, to take sides, start arguments, shape the world, and stop it going to sleep Picture Quote #1

I’ve had some pretty good arguments with people, but I’ve never regretted it. I’ve had people come up where it’s all emotion and no fact. That’s always sad Picture Quote #1
