Science, at its core, is simply a method of practical logic that tests hypotheses against experience. Scientism, by contrast, is the worldview and value system that insists that the questions the scientific method can answer are the most important questions human beings can ask, and that the picture of the world yielded by science is a better approximation to reality than any other  (Insists Quotes) The conspiracy community regularly seizes on one slip of the tongue, misunderstanding, or slight discrepancy to defeat twenty pieces of solid evidence; accepts one witness of theirs, even if he or she is a provable nut, as being far more credible than ten normal witnesses on the other side; treats rumors, even questions, as the equivalent of proof; leaps from the most minuscule of discoveries to the grandest of conclusions; and insists that the failure to explain everything perfectly negates all that is explained  (Insists Quotes) The question may seem embarrassing, but it can be answered in a few words. For two people to live in peace they must both want peace; if one insists on using force to oblige the other to work for him and serve him, then the other, if he wishes to retain his dignity as a man and not be reduced to abject slavery, will be obliged in spite of his love of peace, to resist force with adequate means  (Insists Quotes) In the dream life you don’t deliberately set out to dream about a house night after night; the dream itself insists you look at whatever is trying to come into visibility  (Insists Quotes) Man does not limit himself to seeing; he thinks and insists on learning the meaning of phenomena whose existence has been revealed to him by observation. So he reasons, compares facts, puts questions to them, and by the answers which he extracts, tests one by another. This sort of control, by means of reasoning and facts, is what constitutes experiment, properly speaking; and it is the only process that we have for teaching ourselves about the nature of things outside us  (Insists Quotes) A kid under a tablecloth insists he’s a ghost. A table underneath a tablecloth is, I guess, like the rest of us, only pretending to be invisible  (Insists Quotes) Life, as the most ancient of all metaphors insists, is a journey; and the travel book, in its deceptive simulation of the journey’s fits and starts, rehearses life’s own fragmentation. More even than the novel, it embraces the contingency of things  (Insists Quotes) It doesn’t promise to solve or erase suffering but to transform it, pledging that by loving one another, even through pain, we will find more life. And it insists that by opening ourselves to strangers, the despised or frightening or unintelligible other, we will see more and more of the holy, since, without exception, all people are one body: God’s  (Insists Quotes) Man spends a great deal of time making order out of chaos, yet insists that the emotions be disordered. I order my emotions: I am insane  (Insists Quotes) Koranic teaching still insists that the sun moves around the earth. How can we advance when they teach things like that?  (Insists Quotes) Neoclassical economics insists that advertising cannot force consumers to buy anything they don’t already want to buy  (Insists Quotes) My girlfriend is much better than I am at working hard then resting, and she demands that from me, too. She insists on having time when we don’t do anything. We leave the housework and watch a movie  (Insists Quotes) Dewdrops, nature’s tears, which she sheds in her own breast for the fair which die. The sun insists on gladness; but at night, when he is gone, poor nature loves to weep  (Insists Quotes) One is always wrong to open a conversation with the devil, for, however he goes about it, he always insists upon having the last word  (Insists Quotes) How can a woman be expected to be happy with a man who insists on treating her as if she were a perfectly normal human being  (Insists Quotes) There is no mistaking a real book when one meets it. It is like falling in love, and like that colossal adventure it is an experience of great social import. Even as the tranced swain, the book lover yearns to tell others of his bliss. He writes letters about it, adds it to the postscript of all manner of communications, intrudes it into telephone messages, and insists on his friends writing down the title of the find. Like the simple-hearted betrothed, once certain of his conquest  (Insists Quotes) We have been snared in the coils of spurious logic which insists that if we have found Him, we need no more seek Him  (Insists Quotes) An author is a fool who, not content with boring those he lives with, insists on boring future generations  (Insists Quotes) It was the look you get when facing a sudden and insurmountable danger: the errant truck, the shaky ladder, the crazy person who pins you to the linoleum and insists, with increasing urgency, that everything you know and love can be undone by a grape  (Insists Quotes) The ego refuses to be distressed by the provocations of reality, to let itself be compelled to suffer. It insists that it cannot be affected by the traumas of the external world; it shows, in fact, that such traumas are no more than occasions for it to gain pleasure  (Insists Quotes) If a general shows confidence in his men but always insists on his orders being obeyed, the gain will be mutual  (Insists Quotes) The media insists on taking what someone didn’t mean to say as being far closer to the truth than what they did  (Insists Quotes) Thereafter to crave any further revelation of God to our souls. We have been snared in the coils of a spurious logic which insists that if we have found Him we need no more seek Him  (Insists Quotes) The true artists is one who insists on producing a supply, whether or not there’s any demand  (Insists Quotes) Friendship that insists upon agreement on all matters is not worth the name. Friendship to be real must ever sustain the weight of honest differences, however sharp they be  (Insists Quotes) Poetry, being elegance itself, cannot hope to achieve visibility. It insists on living its own life  (Insists Quotes) We are all exceptional cases. We all want to appeal against something! Each of us insists on being innocent at all cost, even if he has to accuse the whole human race and heaven itself  (Insists Quotes) There is no worse sound in the world than someone who cannot play the violin but insists on doing so anyway  (Insists Quotes) It is not necessarily at home that we best encounter our true selves. The furniture insists that we cannot change because it does not; the domestic setting keeps us tethered to the person we are in ordinary life, who may not be who we essentially are  (Insists Quotes) The novel does not seek to establish a privileged language but it insists upon the freedom to portray and analyze the struggle between the different contestants for such privileges  (Insists Quotes)
