Something must happen that is the reason for most human relationships. Something must happen even servitude in love, in war, ordeath.
Albert Camus
Image
Because they know not the forces of nature, and in order that they may have comrades in their ignorance, they suffer not that others should search out anything, and would have us believe like rustics and ask no reason... But we ask in all things a reason must be sought.
William of Conches
Image
[They say] We do not know how this is, but we know that God can do it. You poor fools! God can make a cow out of a tree, but has He ever done so? Therefore show some reason why a thing is so, or cease to hold that it is so.
William of Conches
Image
I don't often get into a bad mood, since it does not help anything and clouds my judgment, but I can certainly see that sometimes things go terribly wrong. We need to understand the reasons for this and work towards building new conditions that will bring about better circumstances.
Matthieu Ricard
Image
God's existence cannot be deduced by reason alone.
William of Ockham
Image
But the world itself has no reason, and I can say so, I who have experienced it all, from the creation to the destruction.
Albert Camus
Image
If man is reduced to being nothing but a character in history, he has no other choice but to subside into the sound and fury of acompletely irrational history or to endow history with the form of human reason.
Albert Camus
Image
Medicine is learned by the bedside and not in the classroom. Let not your conceptions of disease come from words heard in the lecture room or read from the book. See, and then reason and compare and control. But see first.
William Osler
Image
What is called a reason for living is also an excellent reason for dying.
Albert Camus
Image
I would rather not have upset him, but I couldn't see any reason to change my life. Looking back on it, I wasn't unhappy. When I was a student, I had lots of ambitions like that. But when I had to give up my studies I learned very quickly that none of it really mattered.
Albert Camus
Image
There are always reasons for murdering a man. But there is no justification for his existence.
Albert Camus
Image
In my own work, humor is necessary, for the reasons stated above, but also because forbidding your characters silliness, absurdity, irony, and vulgarity forbids them aspects of the human experience every bit as universal as sorrow.
Anthony Marra
Image
To lose one's life is no great matter when the time comes I'll have the courage to lose mine. But what's intolerable is to see one's life being drained of meaning, to be told there's no reason for existing. A man can't live without some reason for living.
Albert Camus
Image
Passion is the mob of the man, that commits a riot upon his reason.
William Penn
Image
All excess is ill, but drunkenness is of the worst sort. It spoils health, dismounts the mind, and unmans men. It reveals secrets, is quarrelsome, lascivious, impudent, dangerous and mad. In fine, he that is drunk is not a man: because he is so long void of Reason, that distinguishes a Man from a Beast.
William Penn
Image
Love is the hardest lesson in Christianity but, for that reason, it should be most our care to learn it.
William Penn
Image
To those who despair of everything reason cannot provide a faith, but only passion, and in this case it must be the same passion that lay at the root of the despair, namely humiliation and hatred.
Albert Camus
Image
Some men do as much begrudge others a good name, as they want one themselves: and perhaps that is the reason of it.
William Penn
Image
Whereas the Greeks gave to will the boundaries of reason, we have come to put the will's impulse in the very center of reason, which has, as a result, become deadly.
Albert Camus
Image
REASON, n. Propensitate of prejudice.
Ambrose Bierce
Image
Men are never convinced of your reasons, of your sincerity, of the seriousness of your sufferings, except by your death. So long as you are alive, your case is doubtful you have a right only to their skepticism.
Albert Camus
Image
Never esteem people (including yourself) more because they have money, nor think less of anyone (including yourself) because they lack it. Virtue is the only just reason for respecting anyone, lack of virtue the only reason for holding anyone in low regard.
William Penn
Image
Life's better now. I wouldn't do it all over again, though. It's funny how life works. Maybe it was meant to happen for many reasons, because my life in many ways richer.
Giuliana Rancic
Image
For I think belief in God is not a matter of reason at all I think it finally is a matter of love.
William Peter Blatty
