Force Paradox

Famous quotes containing the words force and/or paradox:

“‘Tis happy, therefore, that nature breaks the force of all sceptical arguments in time, and keeps them from having any considerable influence on the understanding. Were we to trust entirely to their self-destruction, that can never take place, ‘till they have first subverted all conviction, and have totally destroy’d human reason.”
—David Hume (1711–1776)

“The paradox of education is precisely this—that as one begins to become conscious one begins to examine the society in which he is being educated.”
