"What kills spontaneous fictions, what recalls the impassioned fancy from its improvisation, is the angry voice of some contrary fancy. Nature, silently making fools of us all our lives, never would bring us to our senses: but the maddest assertions of the mind may do so, when they challenge one another. Criticism arises out of the conflict of dogmas."
George Santayana
Scepticism and Animal Faith
