Even in the beginning when we knew there was a legal argument about how much our song sounds like his song as one songwriter to another I wasn't sure that Cat Stevens would take that as bad.

I wish the government and the Minister of Justice would address these legal and constitutional arguments but they refuse to. They want Canadians to go blindly into their brave new world but it is not wise for a society to move blindly in any direction.

I think Chinese leadership is trying to tell the world they have another set of logic or reasoning or values which are different from yours. Of course I don't think they believe that. It's just an argument that's made when you can't confront the truth and facts. They really want to maintain power.

Argument is conclusive but it does not remove doubt so that the mind may rest in the sure knowledge of the truth unless it finds it by the method of experiment.

Where all is but dream reasoning and arguments are of no use truth and knowledge nothing.

Anyone who conducts an argument by appealing to authority is not using his intelligence he is just using his memory.

There's the argument that you can relate to someone who's completely unrelatable. In the way that a director shows you his imagination on a film then I get to show you my imagination in a big dumb character.

I do insist on making what I hope is sense so there's always a coherent narrative or argument that the reader can follow.

Illogical thinkers throw names and slurs around because they have no arguments with which to rebut their opponents. Rational people have to keep hammering their points home.

My argument is that War makes rattling good history but Peace is poor reading.
