Mark Twain

"Ideology is a poor substitute for rational thought..."
Afarensis

"It isn't faith that makes good science...it's curiosity"
Prof. Jacob Barnhardt, The Day the Earth Stood Still

"This man wishes to be accorded the same privilege as a sponge. He wishes to think!"
Clarence Darrow, Inherit the Wind

"...I become fearful when I see people substituting fear for reason..."
Klaatu, The Day the Earth Stood Still

"I want you to grab life by its little bunny ears and get in its face..."
The Simpsons

"This is between me and the vegetable..."

"With the first link, the chain is forged. The first speech censored, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied, chains us all irrevocably." Jean- Luc Picard, Star Trek: The Next Generation

The whole edifice of the Haeckelian program became irrelevant when developmental biologists shifted their efforts to understanding mechanisms of embryonic development. It became explicitly incorrect with the demise of Lamarckian heredity in the face of Mendalian genetics in the early twentieth century. - Rudolf Raff, The Shape of Life: Genes, Development, and the Evolution of Animal Form

"But the limit of tolerance for these human foibles is obtained when the proponent of a questionable scientific doctrine endeavors to maintain it against all possible odds by misrepresentation, misinformation and suppression of contradictory data, and by insinuating unfairness in opponents of his views."
Franz Weidenreich, Morphology of Solo Man

"Man stands alone in the universe, a unique product of a long, unconcious, impersonal material process with unique understanding and potentialities. These he owes to no one but himself, and it is to himself that he is responsible. He is not the creature of uncontrollable and undeterminable forces, but his own master. He can and must decide and manage his own destiny."
George Gaylord Simpson, Life of the Past

Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And when you look into the abyss, the abyss also looks into you.
Frederich Nietzsche

But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.
The Declaration of Independence
