“Doubt is not a pleasant condition but certainty is an absurd one.”
Voltaire
“Doubt is uncomfortable, certainty is ridiculous.”
“Isn't it the moment of most profound doubt that gives birth to new certainties? Perhaps hopelessness is the very soil that nourishes human hope; perhaps one could never find sense in life without first experiencing its absurdity...”
Vaclav Havel
“If a man will begin with certainties, he shall end in doubts: but if he will be content to begin with doubts, he shall end in certainties.”
Francis Bacon Sr.
“Doubt is to certainty as neurosis is to psychosis. The neurotic is in doubt and has fears about persons and things; the psychotic has convictions and makes claims about them. In short, the neurotic has problems, the psychotic has solutions.”
Thomas S. Szasz
“Doubt is not a pleasant condition, but certainty is absurd”
