More quotes by Henry Sidgwick
We think so because all other people think so Or because-or because-after all, we do think so Or because we were told so, and think we must think so Or because we once thought so, and think we still think so Or because, having thought so, we think we will think so.
Henry Sidgwick
One has to kill a few of one’s natural selves to let the rest grow — a very painful slaughter of innocents.
Henry Sidgwick
