"There are certain things about
which we think, and there are certain
things with which we think. The
problem is we hardly ever think about the
things we think with. We usually
only think about the things we think
about. We ought to step back and
think about thinking, step back and
think about the principles, the
pre-conditions of thinking. What is a
pre-condition of thinking? Logic. The laws of
logic are the pre-conditions of all thinking.
You can't think without logic, even
if you never heard the word. ~ Dr.
Norman Geisler

God there, to get a strong impression of God
firmly fixed on his mind." ~ Meister Eckhart

every course of life its recreation, that
study only should have none? Especially when
such toys are not without their serious
matter, and foolery is so handled that the
reader that is not altogether thick-skulled
may reap more benefit from it than from some
men's crabbish and specious arguments."
~ Desiderius Erasmus of Rotterdam (Praise of
Folly)
