Our will to doubt can be just as powerfully sapped by an internal sense that societal conventions must have a sound basis, even if we are not sure exactly what this may be, because they have been adhered to by a great many people for a long time.

It is for help in overcoming our meekness that we can turn to the philosopher."
"Wherever there is a crowd there is untruth."
"Conformity rules society not wisdom or simplicity."
