Famous quotes containing the words irrational and/or exuberance:

    How did reason enter the world? As is fitting, in an irrational way, accidentally. We will have to guess at it, like a riddle.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    Each man too is a tyrant in tendency, because he would impose his idea on others; and their trick is their natural defence. Jesus would absorb the race; but Tom Paine or the coarsest blasphemer helps humanity by resisting this exuberance of power.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
