A study of the history of opinion is a necessary preliminary to the emancipation of the mind. --John Maynard Keynes
I have remarked very clearly that I am often of one opinion when I am lying down and of another when I am standing up . . . --G. C. Lichtenberg
It's not that I don't have opinions, rather that I'm paid not to think aloud. --Yitzhak Navon
No two men see the world exactly alike, and different temperaments will apply in different ways a principle that they both acknowledge. The same man will, indeed, often see and judge the same things differently on different occasions: early convictions must give way to more mature ones. Nevertheless, may not the opinions that a man holds and expresses withstand all trials, if he only remains true to himself and others? --Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Opinions are to the vast apparatus of social existence what oil is to machines: one does not go up to a turbine and pour machine oil over it; one applies a little to hidden spindles and joints that one has to know. --Walter Benjamin
Opinions have vested interests just as men have. --Samuel Butler
