Tuesday Philosophy

Today's quotation comes courtesy of the Swiss philosopher Henri Frederic Amiel (1821-1881):

"The natural liking for the false has several causes:
the inheritance of prejudice, which produces an
unconscious habit, a slavery; the predominance of
the imagination over reason, which affects the
understanding; the predominance of the passions
over the conscience, which depraves the heart;
the predominance of the will over the intelligence,
which vitiates the character."
