“At the far end of this infinite distance a coin is being spun which will come down heads or tails. How will you wager? Reason cannot make you choose either, reason cannot prove either wrong.”

“The heart has reasons that reason cannot know.”

“There is nothing so consistent with reason as this denial of reason.”
