Coherence is not necessarily good, and one must question its cost. Better sometimes to remain confused.
-Iris Murdoch, Metaphysics
(from Alan Jacobs' A Theology of Reading)
"Thou shalt not extinguish thine anger, but shall master it,
that thy conscience may not be blunted by adjustment
to wrong causes."
-The Dutch Ten Commandments to Foil the Nazis
