Philosophy cannot raise the commonalty up to her level: so, if she is to become popular, she must sink to theirs. – Augustus William Hare and Julius Charles Hare, Guesses at Truth, by Two Brothers
Upon the whole, I am inclined to think that the far greater part, if not all, of those difficulties which have hitherto amused philosophers, and blocked up the way to knowledge, are entirely owing to our selves. That we have first raised a dust, and then complain, we cannot see. – George Berkeley
