orthodoxy is a fixed habit of mind. The average man and woman hug their orthodoxies and spit their venom on those that outrage them.
Gertrude Atherton
Image
Orthodoxy is the grave of intelligence, no matter what orthodoxy it may be.
Bertrand Russell
Image
Orthodoxy is my doxy - heterodoxy is another man's doxy.
William Warburton
Image
Orthodoxy is a corpse that doesn't know it's dead.
Elbert Hubbard
Image
Orthodoxy is unconsciousness.
George Orwell
Image
Orthodoxy is the ability to say two and two make five when faith requires it.
George Orwell
Image
Orthodoxy is the diehard of the world of thought. It learns not, neither can it forget.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Orthodoxy cannot afford to put out the fires of hell.
Robert Green Ingersoll
Image
Heresy is a cradle orthodoxy a coffin.
Robert Green Ingersoll
Image
When the economic orthodoxy can no longer deliver, political turbulence follows. That doesn't mean the left will win, but it means there is an opportunity to be seized.
Alex Nunns
Image
The clear problem of the outlawing of insult is that too many things can be interpreted as such. Criticism, ridicule, sarcasm, merely stating an alternative point of view to the orthodoxy, can be interpreted as insult.
Rowan Atkinson
Image
The word 'heresy' not only means no longer being wrong it practically means being clear-headed and courageous. The word 'orthodoxy' not only no longer means being right it practically means being wrong
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Image
Art that submits to orthodoxy, to even the soundest doctrines, but lacks imagination and deep self-expression is lost leaving only the craftsmanship.
Andre Gide
Image
The greatest danger to Christianity is, I contend, not heresies, not heterodoxies, not atheists, not profane secularism - no, but the kind of orthodoxy which is cordial drivel, mediocrity served up sweet. There is nothing that so insidiously displaces the majestic as cordiality.
Soren Kierkegaard
Image
I would not exchange my freedom from old superstition, if I were to be burned at the stake next month, for all the peace and quiet of orthodoxy, if I must take the orthodoxy with peace and quiet.
Harriet Martineau
Image
It's a long, uphill fight to get back to original orthodoxy. We have two 'originalists' on the Supreme Court. That's something.
Antonin Scalia
Image
It is not what we believe, but why we believe it. Moral responsibility lies in diligently weighing the evidence. We must actively doubt we have to scrutinize our views, not take them on trust. No virtue attached to blindly accepting orthodoxy, however 'venerable'.
Thomas Huxley
Image
Think of lab rats racing through a maze, when you watch the sub-intelligent, dual-panel 'dialogue' conducted on the teli. Each rat runs with a designated, neatly bifurcated (Republican or Democratic) political orthodoxy. Each is a 'maze-bright' rat, and not the possessor and giver of any truth.
Ilana Mercer
Image
Maggie Nelson cuts through our culture's prefabricated structures of thought and feeling with an intelligence whose ferocity is ultimately in the service of love. No piety is safe, no orthodoxy, no easy irony. The scare quotes burn off like fog.
Ben Lerner
Image
With the collision of the Shoemaker comet into Jupiter, the era of uniformitarian orthodoxy must come to an end. Minds that have been closed for nearly half a millennium can now be opened to see what really has happened to our planet in the past -- and that past is not as distant as we might suppose.
Vine Deloria Jr.
Image
How to know, oh how to know! All is relative ease and facility in orthodoxy, yet how can it be denied that good is in itself undeniable? Absolutes are the most uncertain of all formulations, while the uncertainties are the most real.
Jack Vance
Image
Strict orthodoxy can cost too much if it has to be bought at the price of love. All the orthodoxy in the world will never take the place of love.
William Barclay
Image
The voice is raised, and that is where poetry begins. And even today, in the prolonged aftermath of modernism, in places where open form or free verse is the orthodoxy, you will find a memory of that raising of the voice in the term heightened speech.
James Fenton
Image
What the issue here is, you get rid of all the conservative orthodoxy about capital gains, marginal tax rate, supply side economics, you just throw all that out the window, limited government and you just embrace the sheer and raw politics of resentment that have been bubbling the whole time and that`s what you get. You get Donald Trump.
