Reason May Not Always Tell Us What

Success Is No Proof Of Virtue. In The Case Of A Book, Quick Acclaim Is Presumptive Evidence Of A Lack Of Substance And Originality.

It Does Not Follow That The Meaning Must Be Given From Above; That Life And Suffering Must Come Neatly Labeled; That Nothing Is Worth While If The World Is Not Governed By A Purpose.

To Try To Fashion Something From Suffering, To Relish Our Triumphs, And To Endure Defeats Without Resentment: All That Is Compatible With The Faith Of A Heretic.

Reason May Not Always Tell Us What To Believe, But It Can Help Us On What We Shouldn't Believe.

The First Function Of A Book Review Should Be, I Believe, To Give Some Idea Of The Contents And Character Of The Book.
