Everyone is a reactionary about subjects he understands.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I tend to be reactionary.
A reactionary is someone who wants to return to a previous state - that's never a possibility in my books. For me, everything's irreversible in the life of a society, as well as an individual's.
Anger and intolerance are the enemies of correct understanding.
He that knows himself, knows others; and he that is ignorant of himself, could not write a very profound lecture on other men's heads.
Each pursues his own theory, little solicitous to correct or improve it by an attention to what is advanced by his opponents.
No psychologist should pretend to understand what he does not understand... Only fools and charlatans know everything and understand nothing.
Anyone who in discussion relies upon authority uses, not his understanding, but rather his memory.
The reactionary is always willing to take a progressive attitude on any issue that is dead.
People of little understanding are most apt to be angry when their sense is called into question.
I'm not a reactionary.
