More from David Hume
"Reason is, and ought only to be the slave of the passions, and can never pretend to any other office than to serve and obey them."
"All systems of morality, which have hitherto been advanced, are founded on the principle that morality is something real and intrinsic."
"Men's views of things are very much perverted by their passions."
"A passion is an original existence, or, if you will, modification of existence, and contains not any representative quality, which renders it a copy of any other existence or modification."
"The error is not in the senses, but in the understanding."
