Bullshit is a greater enemy of the truth than lies are.

The bullshitter is neither on the side of the true or the side of the false. His eye is not on the facts at all. He does not reject the authority of the truth, as the liar does, and oppose himself to it. He pays no attention to it at all. By virtue of this, bullshit is a greater enemy of the truth than lies are.

Bullshit is unavoidable whenever circumstance require someone to talk without knowing what he is talking about.

One of the most salient features of our culture is that there is so much bullshit.

It is only because a person has volitions of the second order that he is capable both of enjoying and of lacking freedom of the will.

Recognizing truth requires selflessness. You have to leave yourself out of it so you can find out the way things are in themselves, not the way they look to you or how you feel about them or how you would like them to be.
