"The love of free inquiry and free speculation has never been common. When it has existed, it has existed only in a tiny minority and has always roused furious hatred and opposition in the majority. There have been times when it has seemed wholly extinct, but over and over again it has revived. Although the life that it
inspires is arduous and dangerous, the impulse which leads some men to adopt it has been so overwhelming
that they have braved all the obliquity to which they were exposed by devoting themselves to the greatest
service that man can do to man."
- Bertrand Russell
