Summary

This quote suggests that reason is inherent in understanding the truth, providing logical explanations and rational interpretations. However, imagination plays a vital role by giving meaning to these truths, allowing us to grasp their significance and connect with them on a deeper level. While reason helps us navigate the world of facts, imagination enables us to explore the nuances, emotions, and broader implications attached to those facts, enriching our perspectives and shaping our understanding of the world. Together, reason and imagination work in harmony to unlock the full potential of truth.

Look at the tyranny of party-- at what is called party allegiance, party loyalty-- a snare invented by designing men for selfish purposes-- and which turns voters into chattels, slaves, rabbits; and all the while, their masters, and they themselves are shouting rubbish about liberty, independence, freedom of opinion, freedom of speech, honestly unconscious of the fantastic contradiction; and forgetting or ignoring that their fathers and the churches shouted the same blasphemies a generation earlier when they were closing thier doors against the hunted slave, beating his handful of humane defenders with Bible-texts and billies, and pocketing the insults nad licking the shoes of his Southern master.
