Rational

Famous quotes containing the word rational:

“Social and scientific progress are assured, sir, once our great system of postpossession payments is in operation, not the installment plan, no sir, but a system of small postpossession payments that clinch the investment.

—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)

“If we did not have rational souls, we would not be able to believe.”
—St. Augustine (354–430)

“... there is no such thing as a rational world and a separate irrational world, but only one world containing both.”
—Robert Musil (1880–1942)
