TH White at his best

"Argument is only a display of mental force, a sort of fencing with points in order to gain a victory, not for truth. Opinions are blind alleys of lazy or of stupid men, who are unable to think. If ever a true politician really thinks a subject out dispassionately, even Homo stultus will be compelled to accept his findings in the end. Opinion can never stand beside truth."
T. H. White, The Book of Merlyn

What a guy. Good grief.
