Chris GalfordLogic kills. Faith burns. Better to be the one with the torch than the one on the pyre.
About This Quote
This quote, attributed to the great scientist and author, Edgar Allen Poe, is a warning against logic. Logic is often used as a weapon of those who want to oppress or control others. The only way they can best someone is by taking away their logic and reasoning. That’s what they do to people who don’t believe in them.
But, if you have faith and truly believe in the power of your logic and reason, then you will be able to understand things beyond what the world currently does. You will be able to see things as they really are and know that there’s nothing wrong with your logic. That’s why you must always keep burning your logics, even when others try to extinguish the flame of your faith.
