Question everything–no matter how beloved, or how long-held, or how exalted–without apology. Only those who build their world upon lies need fear an inquisitive mind. The truth will remain, even after a storm of doubt and revolution has washed over it. Only illusions need be protected. The truth need not be defended; it existed before us and will continue to exist after us. L.M. Browning
About This Quote
