Heresies are experiments in man's unsatisfied search for truth.
H. G. Wells
History warns us that it is the customary fate of new truths to begin as heresies and to end as superstitions.
Thomas Huxley
In politics, as in religion, it is equally absurd to aim at making proselytes by fire and sword. Heresies in either can rarely be cured by persecution.
Alexander Hamilton
Indeed heresies are themselves instigated by philosophy.
Tertullian
It is the customary fate of new truths, to begin as heresies, and to end as superstitions.
Thomas Huxley
The conscience of the world is so guilty that it always assumes that people who investigate heresies must be heretics; just as if a doctor who studies leprosy must be a leper. Indeed, it is only recently that science has been allowed to study anything without reproach.
Aleister Crowley
