“In legal parlance, that is called 'the rational person test,' ... That's where somebody else says, 'Even though we have no idea what this person would want in this circumstance in which they cannot themselves tell us what they want, a 'rational' person -- meaning, myself -- in that circumstance would want to die.'

Richard John Neuhaus

Oscar Wilde
“I don't see much difference between it and the other films though I can see on a rational and intelligent level there is a big difference.”
Danny Boyle

Nick Barnes
“Certainly these high prices seem excessive, but there is no saying when rationality will return. It seems odd that [metals] prices have climbed as much as they have given only limited changes in the fundamentals.”
William Adams
“The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.”
Albert Einstein
