WORDS ABOUT WORDS
We can act as if there were a God; feel as if we were free; consider Nature as if she were full of special designs; lay plans as if we were to be immortal; and we find then that these words do make a genuine difference in our moral life.
William James, American philosopher and psychologist, The Varieties of Religious Experience, 1902
