Prose Papers (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Prose Papers
When every philosophy has been tested, when all policies have been heard and all speculations as to the destiny of man weighed one against another, it is bigotry alone that will assert that it has the last word in any argument. NO social faith is ever wholly proved, there is no god but will sooner or later be dethroned, no chart of life that we can know with certainty is truly drawn. This is not unhappily so. The imagination of man is so vast an instrument, and the world of experience upon which it may work so varied and so exhilarating, that a lifetime of untiring activity will enable us at best to realise but an odd stray here and there from the thronging life that is daily waiting to, be shaped to our delight. The man who is continually refusing the witness of his own imagination and is crying for the assurance of authorities other than his Own alert Spirit is withered in the centre, he is spiritually dead. You may be sorry for him his.
