There must be no barriers to freedom of inquiry...There is no place for dogma in science. The scientist is free, and must be free to ask any question, to doubt any assertion, to seek for any evidence, to correct any errors.

— J. Robert Oppenheimer

“The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt.”

— Bertrand Russell (logician + philosopher best known for his work on formal paradox and the foundations of mathematics)

Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
