423. The heart has its reasons of which reason knows nothing: we know this in countless ways.
424. It is the heart which perceives God and not the reason. That is what faith is: God perceived by heart, not by he reason.

Pragmatism vs. sentiment
PRINCESS:
And out of question so it is sometimes:
Glory grows guilty of detested crimes,
When, for fame's sake, for praise, an outward part,
We bend to that the working of the heart;
William Shakespeare - Love's Labour's Lost (4.1)
Some socialist views of Ellsworth M. Toohey that are surprisingly actual today in the West
- Speaking anatomically the heart is our most valuable organ. The brain is a superstition.
- In spiritual matters there is a simple, infallible test: everything that proceeds from the ego is evil; everything that proceeds from from love for others is good.
- The worst folk song is superior to the best symphony.
- A man braver than his brothers insults them by implication. Let us aspire to no virtue which cannot be shared.
- I have yet to see a genius or a hero who, if stuck with a burning match, would feel less pain than his undistinguished average brother.
- Genius is an exaggeration of dimension. So is elephantiasis. Both may be only a disease.
- We are all brothers under the skin - and I, for one, would be willing to skin humanity to prove it.
Ayn Rand - The Fountainhead
