"The world is to be carried forward by truth, which at first offends,
which wins its way by degrees, which the many hate and would
rejoice to crush."
- William Ellery Channing, 1849
"When we consider what religion is for mankind, and what science is,
it is no exaggeration to say that the future course of history depends
upon the decision of this generation as to the relations between
them."
- Alfred North Whitehead, 1930
