Age Of Reason Quotes - Page 2

• There is a place in men's lives where pictures do in fact bleed, ghosts gibber and shriek, maidens run forever through mysterious landscapes from nameless foes; that place is, of course, the world of dreams and of the repressed guilts and fears that motivate them [i.e., the unconscious]. This world the dogmatic optimism and shallow psychology of the Age of Reason had denied; and yet this world it is the final, perhaps the essential, purpose of the gothic romance to assert.

  Leslie Fiedler

• Although the patriarchal ego prides itself on being reasonable, the twentieth century has been anything but the Age of Reason. In our collective neurosis, we have raped the earth, disrupted the delicate balance of nature, and created phallic missiles of mass destruction.

• Newton was not the first of the age of reason. He was the last of the magicians, the last of the Babylonians and Sumerians, the last great mind that looked out on the visible and intellectual world with the same eyes as those who began to build our intellectual inheritance rather less than 10,000 years ago.

• Women [in ancient Rome] were condemned to the perpetual tutelage of parents, husbands, or guardians; a sex created to please and obey was never supposed to have attained the age of reason and experience. Such, at least, was the stern and haughty spirit of the ancient law . . .

• My point is, as civilization is progressing, Mosaic law came down from the mountain, was handed to civilization, it emerged through the Greek civilization as the Greeks were developing their Age of Reason. And we're talking about the foundation of Western Civilization, and almost concurrently with that, Roman law was emerging as well.

• A purpose derived from a false premise - that a deity has ordained submission to his will - cannot merit respect. The pursuit of Enlightenment-era goals - solving our world's problems through rational discourse, rather than through religion and tradition - provides ample grounds for a purposive existence. It is not for nothing that the Enlightenment, when atheism truly began to take hold, was also known as the Age of Reason.

• La historia de Mirror Mirror es, en muchos sentidos, una historia sobre la evolución. Sobre la evolución de un niño a adulto. Sobre la evolución de los enanos hacia algo menos rocoso, un poco más humanoide. También trata de la evolución de la historia, de la oscuridad de la Edad Media a la luz de la Edad de la Razón.

• The Age of Reason has turned out to be the Age of Structure; a time when, in the absence of purpose, the drive for power as a value in itself has become the principal indicator of social approval. And the winning of power has become the measure of social merit.

• El Bautismo no aprovecha al hombre fuera de la unidad con la Iglesia ... Pues también muchos herejes poseen este Sacramento, pero no los frutos de la salvación ... Los beneficios que se derivan del Bautismo son necesariamente frutos que pertenecen sólo a la verdadera Iglesia. Los niños bautizados en otras comuniones dejan de ser miembros de la Iglesia cuando, después de alcanzar la edad del uso de razón, hacen profesión formal de herejía, como, por ejemplo, comulgando en una Iglesia no católica.

• Cada una de esas iglesias muestra ciertos libros, que llaman revelación, o la Palabra de Dios. Los judíos dicen que su Palabra de Dios fue dada por Dios a Moisés cara a cara; los cristianos dicen que su Palabra de Dios vino por inspiración divina; y los turcos dicen que su Palabra de Dios (el Corán) fue traída por un ángel del cielo. Cada una de esas iglesias acusa a la otra de incredulidad; y, por mi parte, no creo en ninguna de ellas.
