Adlai Stevenson On Reason, Thinking, Subversion And Salvation

In "A Call to Greatness," 1954, Stevenson also noted that "Unreason and anti-intellectualism abominate thought. Thinking implies disagreement; and disagreement implies nonconformity; and nonconformity implies heresy; and heresy implies disloyalty — so, obviously, thinking must be stopped. But shouting is not a substitute for thinking and reason is not the subversion but the salvation of freedom."
