satire, derision, or contempt, freedom of thought becomes
impossible." Salman Rushdie.
"There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has
always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant
thread winding its way through our political and cultural life,
nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance
is just as good as your knowledge'" Isaac Asimov (1920-1992)
"The truth may be puzzling. It may take some work to grapple with.
It may be counterintuitive. It may contradict deeply held prejudices. It
may not be consonant with what we desperately want to be true.
But our preferences do not determine what's true." Carl Sagan (1934-1996)
