[Quote No.67733] Need Area: Mind > Learn
"[Freedom of thought, speech, expression and press versus censorship and propaganda:] The justification and the purpose of freedom of speech is not to indulge those who want to speak their minds. It is to prevent error and discover truth. There may be other ways of detecting error and discovering truth than that of free discussion,
but so far we have not found them." - Henry Steele Commager
(1902-1998) Historian and author. Source: Freedom and Order, 1966.

[Quote No.67986] Need Area: Mind > Learn
"[All experiences are opportunities to learn and grow wiser and more empowered and inspired:-] A writer - and, I believe, generally all persons - must think that whatever happens to him or her is a resource. All things have been given to us for a purpose, and an artist must feel this more intensely. All that happens to us, including our humiliations, our misfortunes, our embarrassments, all is given to us as raw material, as clay, so that we may shape our art." - Jorge Luis Borges

[Quote No.68054] Need Area: Mind > Learn
"[Skepticism, doubt, questioning, experimentation, confirmation, etc., are necessary to discovering objective truth:] The seeker after truth is not one who studies the writings of the ancients and, following his natural disposition, puts his trust in them, but rather the one who suspects his faith in them and questions what he gathers from them, the one who submits to argument and demonstration and not the sayings of human beings whose nature is fraught with all kinds of imperfection and deficiency. Thus the duty of the man who investigates the writings of scientists, if learning the truth is his goal, is to make himself an enemy of all that he reads, and, applying his mind to the core and margins of its content, attack it from every side. He should also suspect himself as he performs his critical examination of it, so that he may avoid falling into either prejudice or leniency." - Ibn al-Haytham
(965 - 1040), Ḥasan Ibn al-Haytham was a Muslim Arab mathematician, astronomer, and physicist of the Islamic Golden Age.

[Quote No.68142] Need Area: Mind > Learn
"[Free speech, controversy and debate:] Let's be clear: the work of science has nothing whatever to do with consensus. Consensus is the business of politics. Science, on the contrary, requires only one investigator who happens to be right, which means that he or she has results that are verifiable by reference to the real world. In science consensus is irrelevant. What is relevant is reproducible results. The greatest scientists in history are great precisely because they broke with the consensus." - Michael Crichton
