"The proper bafflers are the ambiguists. Their flashes of insights are frequent enough; but in the end the fog closes down. They are great ones for the facts, against the fundamentalists, and great ones of "conscience," against the cynics. They insist on the values of pragmatism against the absolutists; but they resent the suggestion that they push pragmatism to the point of relativism of moral values."
"For the pragmatists there are, properly speaking, no truths; there are only results."
-- John Courtney Murray, S.J. (September 12, 1904-August 16, 1967)
