Hypothetical Syllogism - Proof

Famous quotes containing the word proof:

“The thing with Catholicism, the same as all religions, is that it teaches what should be, which seems rather incorrect. This is “what should be.” Now, if you’re taught to live up to a “what should be” that never existed—only an occult superstition, no proof of this “should be”Mthen you can sit on a jury and indict easily, you can cast the first stone, you can burn Adolf Eichmann, like that!”
—Lenny Bruce (1925–1966)

“The proof of a poet is that his country absorbs him as affectionately as he has absorbed it.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

“The chief contribution of Protestantism to human thought is its massive proof that God is a bore.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
