More quotes by Daniel Bell
"The intellectual takes as a starting point his self and relates the world to his own sensibilities; the scientist accepts an existing field of knowledge and seeks to map out the unexplored terrain."
"Europe, in legend, has always been the home of subtle philosophical discussion; America was the land of grubby pragmatism."
"When theology erodes and organization crumbles, when the institutional framework of religion begins to break up, the search for a direct experience which people can feel to be religious facilitates the rise of cults."
"One simply turns to the ideological vending machine, and out comes the prepared formulae."
"I am too weary to listen, too angry to hear."
