Science exists, moreover, only as a journey toward troth. Stifle dissent and you end that journey.
From John Charles Polanyi
The scientific and scholarly community is marked by the belief that the truth is to be found in all; none can claim it as their monopoly.

When, as we must often do, we fear science, we really fear ourselves.
