This nonsense is part of the huge fund of unreason on which the plans and schemes of optimists draw for their vitality. Nonsense confiscates meaning. It thereby puts truth and falsehood, reason and unreason, light and darkness on an equal footing. It is a blow cast in defence of intellectual freedom, as the optimists construe it, namely the freedom to believe anything at all, provided you feel better for it.","author":"Roger Scruton","tags":["academy","believe","darkness","debate","equal","falsehood","feel","feeling","freedom","heart","light","meaning","nonsense","optimism","optimists","plan","plans","public","reason","scheme","schemes","truth","unreason","vitality"],"id":140364,"author_id":"Roger+Scruton"},{"text":"In the grand scheme of life, nobody grows old keeping their soul unblemished.","author":"A.J.

I confess that my scheme is still a mere dream, and I do not shut my eyes to the fact that so long as I alone believe it to be possible, it is virtually impossible. ... The scheme in question is the cutting of a canal through the Isthmus of Suez. This has been thought of from the earliest historical times, and for that very reason is looked upon as impracticable.
