“Man has been accustomed, ever since he was a boy, to having a dozen incompatible philosophies dancing about together inside his head. He doesn't think of doctrines as primarily "true" or "false," but as "academic" or "practical," "outworn" or "contemporary," "conventional" or "ruthless."

Make him think it is strong or stark or courageous—that it is the philosophy of the future. That's the sort of thing he cares about.”
