Today I came across 2 quotes alongside each other, that have been used in newspapers:
The presence of those seeking the truth is infinitely to be prefered to those who think they've found it. Terry Pratchett, quoted in the independent.
A man does not attain the status of Galileo merely because he is persecuted; he must also be right. Paleontologist Stephen Jay Gould, quoted in The Times
While taken out of context, one says to me that they would prefer to remain proud in their self-deceit, while the other recognises the need for truth.
