Logic Quote by Aldous Huxley

“Wherever a choice has had to be made between the man of reason and the madman, the world has unhesitatingly followed the madman. For the madman appeals to what is fundamental, to passion and the instincts; the philosophers to what is superficial and supererogatory - reason.” quote by Aldous Huxley — Download Open image
