“Resorting to slander and ridicule as the basis of reasoning for an argument - admits and confesses that no logical or good reasons exist - and justly exposes the serious lack of integrity and critical thinking skills on the part of the speaker or writer.”
Mike E. Knezevich, Jr.
“It is a curious thought, but it is only when you see people looking ridiculous that you realize just how much you love them.”
Agatha Christie
“Ridicule is the first and last argument of a fool”
Charles Simmons
“The dogma of science is that the will cannot possibly affect external forces, and I think that's just ridiculous. It's as bad as the church. My viewpoint is the exact contrary of the scientific viewpoint. I believe that if you run into somebody in the street it's for a reason. Among primitive people they say if someone was bitten by a snake he was murdered. I believe that.”
William S. Burroughs
“The idea that addiction is somehow a psychological illness is, I think, totally ridiculous. It's as psychological as malaria. It's a matter of exposure. People, generally speaking, will take any intoxicant or any drug that gives them a pleasant effect if it is available to them.”
“I have learned never to ridicule any man's opinion, however strange it may seem”
Arthur Conan Doyle Sr.
“If at first, the idea is not absurd, then there is no hope for it”
Albert Einstein
