“They can print statistics and count the populations in hundreds of thousands, but to each man a city consists of no more than a few streets, a few houses, a few people. Remove those few and a city exists no longer except as a pain in the memory, like a pain of an amputated leg no longer there.”

“Logic is not the science of Belief, but the science of Proof, or Evidence. In so far as belief professes to be founded on proof, the office of logic is to supply a test for ascertaining whether or not the belief is well grounded.

― John Stuart Mill, A System of Logic: Ratiocinative and Inductive

“At what point does faith become insanity?”
― K. Ritz, Sheever's Journal, Diary of a Poison Master
