More From Christopher Morley

When steampunk meets adventure and adventure meets comedy and comedy meets ingenuity and ingenuity meets charm and charm meets wonder and wonder meets pleasure the result is a triumph. dr grordbort is the future. and the past. which makes an ideal present.
Adventure Past Triumph
Error is a supposition that pleasure and pain, that intelligence, substance, life, are existent in matter. error is neither mind nor one of mind's faculties. error is the contradiction of truth. error is a belief without understanding. error is unreal because untrue. it is that which stemma to be and is not. if error were true, its truth would be error, and we should have a self-evident absurdity -namely, erroneous truth. thus we should continue to lose the standard of truth.

I had been working purely abstractly for so long, it was important for me to see whether i was working abstractly because i couldn't work any other way, or whether i was doing it out of choice.
Long Choices Important
It seems to me that our three basic needs, for food and security and love, are so mixed and mingled and entwined that we cannot straightly think of one without the others. so it happens that when i write of hunger, i am really writing about love and the hunger for it, and warmth and the love of it and the hunger for it… and then the warmth and richness and fine reality of hunger satisfied… and it is all one.
Food Writing Reality
When things get bad enough, then something happens to correct the course. and it's for that reason that i speak about evolution as an error-making and an error-correcting process. and if we can be ever so much better - ever so much slightly better - at error correcting than at error making, then we'll make it.

A philosopher is, no doubt, entitled to examine even those distinctions that are to be found in the structure of all languages... in that case, such a distinction may be imputed to a vulgar error, which ought to be corrected in philosophy.
Philosophy Errors Doubt
I should esteem it the extreme of imprudence to prolong the precarious state of our national affairs, and to expose the union to the jeopardy of successive experiments, in the chimerical pursuit of a perfect plan. i never expect to see a perfect work from imperfect man. the result of the deliberations of all collective bodies must necessarily be a compound, as well of the errors and prejudices, as of the good sense and wisdom, of the individuals of whom they are composed.

The deceiver can magnify a little sin for the purpose of causing one to worry, torture, and kill oneself with it. this is why a christian should learn not to let anyone easily create an evil conscience in him. rather let him say, "this error and this failing pass away with my other imperfections and sins, which i must include in the article of faith: i believe in the forgiveness of sins.
