“We call a man a bigot or a slave of dogma because he is a thinker who has thought thoroughly and to a definite end.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
“Science is properly more scrupulous than dogma. Dogma gives a charter to mistake, but the very breath of science is a contest with mistake, and must keep the conscience alive.”
