Philosophy cannot and should not give faith, but it should understand itself and know what it has to offer and take nothing away, and least of all should fool people out of something as if it were nothing.
“students were savvy enough to know that forcing a teacher to shout at the class would be a sure sign that they had got to them, and, therefore, raising your voice in class would just make kids laugh at you. The discipline system there had clear sanctions, which did not include taking a kid out and shouting at them.”

“Intuitive minds, on the contrary, being thus accustomed to judge at a single glance, are so astonished when they are presented with propositions of which they understand nothing, and the way to which is through definitions and axioms so sterile, and which they are not accustomed to see thus in detail, that they are repelled and disheartened.”

“Language does control how you think, and if you don’t have a word for it, you won’t think of it.”

“Mehrabian’s second experiment was to have nine different words recorded in varying tones of voice. The words themselves had an association with either liking (‘ honey’, ‘dear’ and ‘thanks’); neutrality (‘ may’, ‘really’ and ‘oh’); or disliking (‘ don’t’ , ‘brute’ and ‘terrible’). It was found that the tone in which the words were said was a more reliable indicator of recognizing the emotion than the actual meaning of the words. These experiments led Mehrabian to construct an (in no way uncontroversial) formula: Total liking = 7% Verbal liking + 38% Vocal liking + 55% Facial liking 1 In other words, we make decisions as to whether someone likes us predominantly on the basis of their facial expression and the tone of their voice: what is actually said is accountable for only a small part of communicating liking.”
