More From George Santayana

From harmony, from heavenly harmony, this universal frame began: when nature underneath a heap of jarring atoms lay, and could not heave her head, the tuneful voice was heard from high, 'arise, ye more than dead!' then cold, and hot, and moist, and dry, in order to their stations leap, and music's power obey. from harmony, from heavenly harmony, this universal frame began: from harmony to harmony through all the compass of the notes it ran, the diapason closing full in man.

There are two aspects of individual harmony: the harmony between body and soul, and the harmony between individuals. all the tragedy in the world, in the individual and in the multitude, comes from lack of harmony. and harmony is the best given by producing harmony in one's own life.
Two Soul Tragedy
The claim is also sometimes made that science is as arbitrary or irrational as all other claims to knowledge, or that reason itself is an illusion. as ethan allen said those who invalidate reason ought seriously to consider whether they argue against reason with or without reason; if with reason, then they establish the principle that they are labouring to dethrone. if they argue without reason, which they must do, in order to be consistent with themselves, they are out of reach of rational conviction, nor do they deserve a rational argument.

I chose the name pi because it's an irrational number (one with no discernable pattern). yet scientists use this irrational number to come to a "rational" understanding of the universe. to me, religion is a bit like that, "irrational" yet with it we come together we come to a sound understanding of the universe.

...there ... remains a huge following [of ayn rand's philosophy] of those who ignore the indiscretions, infidelities, and moral inconsistencies of the founder and focus instead on the positive aspects of her philosophy. there is much in it to admire, if you do not have to accept the whole package... criticism of the founder or followers of a philosophy does not, by itself, constitute a negation of any part of the philosophy... criticism of part of a philosophy does not gainsay the whole.

Philosophy is a more intense sort of experience than common life is, just as pure and subtle music, heard in retirement, is something keener and more intense than the howling of storms or the rumble of cities.
