Paleontologists [fossil experts] have paid an exorbitant price for Darwin's argument.

Stephen Jay Gould

For if any man who never saw fire proved by satisfactory arguments that fire burns. His hearer's mind would never be satisfied, nor would he avoid the fire until he put his hand in it that he might learn by experiment what argument taught.
Roger Bacon
Image
Painting is the same kind of problem as unfolding a long, sustained interlocked argument... It is a proposition commanded by a single unity of conception.
Winston Churchill
Image

Democracy is our most valuable possession. Upholding it is our duty and our responsibility.

These form the cornerstones of the only form of political system that can guarantee freedom.
Wolfgang Thierse

ATHENA: There are two sides to this dispute. I've heard only one half the argument. (...) So you two parties, summon your witnesses, set out your proofs, with sworn evidence to back your stories. Once I've picked the finest men in Athens, I'll return. They'll rule fairly in this case, bound by a sworn oath to act with justice.
Aeschylus

Gilbert K. Chesterton
