Whenever we accept an idea as authority instead of as instrument, an idol is set up. We worship the plough, and not the fruit.
— Walter Lippmann
Next Quote
Man finds his pathways: at first they were foot-tracks, as those of the beast in the wilderness; now they are swift and invisible: his thought dives through the ocean, and his wishes thread the air: has he found all the pathways yet? What reaches him, stays with him, rules him: he must accept it, not knowing its pathway.
— George Eliot
