A.C. Grayling
“Eagleton has spent his life inside two mental boxes, Catholicism and Marxism, of both of which he is a severe internal critic—that is, he frequently kicks and scratches at the inside of the boxes, but does not leave them. Neither are ideologies that loosen their grip easily, and people who need the security of adherence to a big dominating ideology, however much they kick and scratch but without daring to leave go, hold on to it every bit as tightly as it holds onto them. The result is of course strangulation, but alas not mutual strangulation: the ideology always wins.”
A.C. Grayling

“If our Founding Fathers wanted us to care about the rest of the world, they wouldn't have declared their independence from it.”

“If I had a dime for everytime that I was wrong, I'd be broke.”

A.C. Grayling
“It takes a certain ingenuous faith - but I have it - to believe that people who read and reflect more likely than not come to judge things with liberality and truth.”
A.C. Grayling, The Heart of Things: Applying Philosophy to the 21st Century
