Fallacy Quotes

We have a cultural notion that if children were not engineered, if we did not manipulate them, they would grow up as beasts in the field. This is the wildest fallacy in the world Picture Quote #1

A smattering of everything is worth little. It is a fallacy to suppose that an encyclopaedic knowledge is desirable. The mind is made strong, not through much learning, but by the thorough possession of something Picture Quote #1

There are different kinds of truths for different kinds of people. There are truths appropriate for children; truths that are appropriate for students; truths that are appropriate for educated adults; and truths that are appropriate for highly educated adults, and the notion that there should be one set of truths available to everyone is a modern democratic fallacy. It doesn’t work Picture Quote #1

The belief that youth is the happiest time of life is founded on fallacy. The happiest person is the person who thinks the most interesting thoughts, and we grow happier as we grow older Picture Quote #1

Perhaps that is the real surprise of love; it exists, but one may not attribute causes and effects to it. The existence may appear to be a mere fallacy to the minds of some, and by the time they realise what hit them, they would already be down and dead Picture Quote #1

Privacy with medical information is a fallacy. If everyone’s information is out there, it’s part of the collective Picture Quote #1

There is no greater fallacy than the belief that aims and purposes are one thing, while methods and tactics are another... All human experience teaches that methods and means cannot be separated from the ultimate aim Picture Quote #1

A man who marries a woman to educate her falls victim to the same fallacy as the woman who marries a man to reform him Picture Quote #1

Money makes people rich; it is a fallacy to think it makes them better, or even that it makes them worse. People are what they do, and what they leave behind Picture Quote #1

Simple perception then is a fallacy. Besides the conscious prejudices that we are aware of imposing on the world, there are a thousand subconscious prejudices that we assume to be actuality Picture Quote #1

No, that is the great fallacy: the wisdom of old men. They do not grow wise. They grow careful Picture Quote #1

A common fallacy in much of the adverse criticism to which science is subjected today is that it claims certainty, infallibility and complete emotional objectivity. It would be more nearly true to say that it is based upon wonder, adventure and hope Picture Quote #1

I should venture to assert that the most pervasive fallacy of philosophic thinking goes back to neglect of context Picture Quote #1

There is nothing more effectual in showing us the weakness of any habitual fallacy or assumption than to hear it sympathetically through the ears, as it were, of a skeptic Picture Quote #1

Somehow even a popular fallacy has an aspect of truth when it suits one’s own case Picture Quote #1
