Summary

This quote by Emily Dickinson suggests that while faith may be comforting and meaningful in ordinary times, it is the use of rationality and scientific tools (such as microscopes) that prove critical during difficult or urgent situations. It implies that relying solely on faith may not provide the solutions or insights needed in times of crisis. Dickinson's words encourage a blend of both faith and reason, emphasizing the importance of logic and evidence when faced with emergencies.

Always this same morbid interest in other people and their doings, their privacies, their dirty linen, always this air of alertness for personal happenings, personalities, personalities, personalities. Always this subtle criticism and appraisal of other people, this analysis of other people's motives. If anatomy presupposes a corpse, then psychology presupposes a world of corpses. Personalities, which means personal criticism and analysis, presuppose a whole world laboratory of human psyches waiting to be vivisected. If you cut a thing up, of course it will smell. Hence, nothing raises such an infernal stink, at last, as human psychology.
