Dogmatic Quotes - Page 5

• Traditionally, I have responded to the transcendent mystics of all religions. I have always responded with breathless excitement to anyone who has ever said that God does not live in a dogmatic scripture or in a distant throne in the sky, but instead abides very close to us indeed- much closer than we can imagine, breathing right through our own hearts.

• My basic view of things is - not to have any basic view of things. From having been exceedingly dogmatic, my views on life have gradually dissolved. They don't exist any longer.

• There are many paths to enlightenment. Some of us who have expanded to a degree of illumination have thereafter preached the dogmatic certainty of one particular path. But enlightenment doesn't care how you get there. And if you aren't going to be thinking about it in paradise, then don't worry about it now.

• Esos miserables contaminados por el error del indiferentismo y del modernismo sostienen que la verdad dogmática no es absoluta, sino relativa: es decir, que debe adaptarse a las necesidades variables de los tiempos y a las disposiciones variables de las almas, puesto que no está contenida en una revelación inmutable, sino que, por su misma naturaleza, está destinada a acomodarse a la vida del hombre.

• I do indeed disbelieve that we or any other mortal men can attain on a given day to absolutely incorrigible and unimprovable truth about such matters of fact as those with which religions deal. But I reject this dogmatic ideal not out of a perverse delight in intellectual instability. I am no lover of disorder and doubt as such. Rather do I fear to lose truth by this pretension to possess it already wholly.

• Philosophy, beginning in wonder, as Plato and Aristotle said, is able to fancy everything different from what it is. It sees the familiar as if it were strange, and the strange as if it were familiar. It can take things up and lay them down again. It rouses us from our native dogmatic slumber and breaks up our caked prejudices.

• Agnosticism is a perfectly respectable and tenable philosophical position; it is not dogmatic and makes no pronouncements about the ultimate truths of the universe. It remains open to evidence and persuasion; lacking faith, it nevertheless does not deride faith. Atheism, on the other hand, is as unyielding and dogmatic about religious belief as true believers are about heathens. It tries to use reason to demolish a structure that is not built upon reason.

• Tormented by conflicting feelings, I appealed to reason ; and it is reason which, amid so many dogmatic contradictions, now forces the hypothesis upon me. A priori dogmatism, applying itself to God, has proved fruitless: who knows whither the hypothesis, in its turn, will lead us? I will explain therefore how, studying in the silence of my heart, and far from every human consideration, the mystery of social revolutions, God, the great unknown, has become for me an hypothesis, I mean a necessary dialectical tool.

• Le digo a la gente demasiado joven para saberlo que surgimos durante dos de las épocas más dogmáticas de la historia reciente: la llamada era hippie y la era punk, ambas con una serie de códigos y normas según los cuales tenías que tener un aspecto, vestir y pensar de una determinada manera, y por supuesto, tener una determinada edad.

• Bajo el sol del desierto, en la claridad dogmática, las fábulas de la teología y los mitos de la filosofía clásica se disuelven como la niebla. El aire es limpio, la roca corta cruelmente la carne; haz añicos la roca y el olor a pedernal sube hasta tus fosas nasales, amargo y punzante. Los torbellinos danzan por las salinas, una columna de polvo durante el día; el espino se incendia por la noche. ¿Qué significa todo esto? No significa nada. Es como es y no necesita significado. El desierto yace debajo y se eleva más allá de cualquier posible calificación humana. Por tanto, sublime.

• No man, however strong, can serve ten years as schoolmaster, priest, or Senator, and remain fit for anything else. All the dogmatic stations in life have the effect of fixing a certain stiffness of attitude forever, as though they mesmerised the subject.

• The most offensive egotist is he that fears to say "I" and "me." "It will probably rain" - that is dogmatic. "I think it will rain" - that is natural and modest. Montaigne is the most delightful of essayists because so great is his humility that he does not think it important that we see not Montaigne. He so forgets himself that he employs no artifice to make us forget him.

• If one takes pleasure in calling the gold standard a "barbarous relic," one cannot object to the application of the same term to every historically determined institution. Then the fact that the British speak English - and not Danish, German, or French - is a barbarous relic too, and every Briton who opposes the substitution of Esperanto for English is no less dogmatic and orthodox than those who do not wax rapturous about the plans for a managed currency.

• What we need to do is to have a sensible approach to immigration. It needs to be open. It needs to be non-dogmatic and non-bigoted. We need to be firm but reasonable in the way we deal with the problem of illegal immigration. And we need to try to get as many of our immigrants who want to do so to become citizens as quickly as possible so that the American people will all see that this is a part of the process of American history, which is a good one for our country.

• Estados Unidos es la única nación del mundo fundada sobre un credo. Ese credo se expone con lucidez dogmática e incluso teológica en la Declaración de Independencia; quizá la única pieza de política práctica que es también política teórica y también gran literatura.

• Resuelve todos tus problemas a través de la meditación. Cambia las especulaciones religiosas inútiles por el contacto real con Dios. Limpia tu mente de escombros teológicos dogmáticos; deja entrar las aguas frescas y curativas de la percepción directa. Sintonízate con la activa Guía interior; la Voz Divina tiene la respuesta a cada dilema de la vida. Aunque el ingenio del hombre para meterse en problemas parece no tener fin, el Socorro Infinito no es menos ingenioso.

• Me han llamado cascarrabias, que mi obsolescente diccionario define como "tipo hosco, maleducado y de mal humor". ... Hoy en día, cascarrabias es probable que se refiera a cualquier persona que odia la hipocresía, la cantinela, la farsa, las ideologías dogmáticas, las pretensiones y evasivas del eufemismo, y tiene el descaro de señalar hechos desagradables y se toma la molestia de empalar estos pecados en el pincho del humor y asarlos sobre el fuego de los hechos empíricos, el sentido común y la inteligencia nativa. En esta nación de ovejas que balan y burros que rebuznan, es un honor ser calificado de cascarrabias.

• El principio mismo de la religión dogmática, de la moral dogmática, de la filosofía dogmática, es lo que hay que desarraigar; no ninguna manifestación particular de ese principio. La piedra angular de una educación destinada a formar grandes mentes, debe ser el reconocimiento del principio de que el objetivo es suscitar la mayor cantidad posible de poder intelectual e inspirar el más intenso amor a la verdad.

• Science tells us what we can know but what we can know is little and if we forget how much we cannot know we become insensitive of many things of very great importance. Theology, on the other hand induces a dogmatic belief that we have knowledge where in fact we have ignorance and by doing so generates a kind of impertinent insolence towards the universe. Uncertainty in the presence of vivid hopes and fears is painful, but must be endured if we wish to live without the support of comforting fairy tales.
