Here’s why reason alone doesn’t always work, or rather, hardly ever works; especially true in these days of unbridled passion & pride.
“Quarry the granite rock with razors, or moor the vessel with a thread of silk; then may you hope with such keen and delicate instruments as human knowledge and human reason to contend against those giants, the passion and the pride of man.”
St. John Henry Newman
From “The Idea of a University”
