I may be wrong and you may be right, and by an effort, we may get nearer to the truth

If we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them.

Science must begin with myths, and with the criticism of myths.

My thesis is that what we call 'science' is differentiated from the older myths not by being something distinct from a myth, but by being accompanied by a second-order tradition-that of critically discussing the myth. ... In a certain sense, science is myth-making just as religion is.

Now this principle of induction cannot be a purely logical truth like a tautology or an analytic statement. . . .

There is no history, only histories.

It is not possible to write clearly enough to avoid being misrepresented by people who are sufficiently determined to do so.
