Idries Shah
“Learn to be as analytical about things of which you are credulous as you are of those which you criticise.”
Idries Shah, Reflections

Neil Postman
“To engage the written word means to follow a line of thought, which requires considerable powers of classifying, inference-making and reasoning. It means to uncover lies, confusions, and overgeneralizations, to detect abuses of logic and common sense. It also means to weigh ideas, to compare and contrast assertions, to connect one generalization to another. To accomplish this, one must achieve a certain distance from the words themselves, which is, in fact, encouraged by the isolated and impersonal text. That is why a good reader does not cheer an apt sentence or pause to applaud even an inspired paragraph. Analytic thought is too busy for that, and too detached.”
Neil Postman, Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business
