Nonconformist Philosophy.

  1. People who have given us their complete confidence believe that they have a right to ours. The inference is false, a gift confers no rights.
  2. Morality is but the herd-instinct in the individual.
  3. We often refuse to accept an idea merely because the way in which it has been expressed is unsympathetic to us.
  4. Convictions are more dangerous foes of truth than lies.
  5. The most common lie is that which one tells himself; lying to others is relatively an exception.
  6. All things are subject to interpretation. Whichever interpretation prevails at a given time is a function of power and not truth.
