“First they came for the communists, and I did not speak out–
because I was not a communist;
Then they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out–

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out–
because I was not a Jew;
Then they came for me–
and there was no one left to speak out for me.”

John Lock
“[E]very man has a property in his own person: this no body has any right to but himself. The labour of his body, and the work of his hands, we may say, are properly his. Whatsoever then he removes out of the state that nature hath provided, and left it in, he hath mixed his labour with, and joined to it something that is his own, and thereby makes it his property.”

Paul M. Churchland.
“We did not lose contact with a metaphysically distinct dimension of reality when we stopped seeing an immutable sparkle-strewn quintessential crystal sphere each time we looked to the heavens, and began to see instead an infinite space of gas and dust and giant stars structured by gravitational attractions and violent nuclear processes.”

Paradox of the Bald Man!
- A man with no hairs is bald.
- A single hair never make the different between being bald and not being bald([proof: for any number N, if a man with N hairs is bald, then a man with N+1 hairs is bald).
- Therefore, a man with a million hairs is bald.
