“
Of course, everyone is free to prefer his favourite article of faith to the scientific, that is the empirical method. But do not let us imagine that his faith is then anything except a piece of comfortable and customary superstition.”
/ Jacob Bronowski (18 January 1908 – 22 August 1974), Polish-British mathematician and philosopher. /
