Lakatos, Imre

"The deepest questions often have the simplest answers, once we think to ask them."

"A theory that cannot be disproven is not a theory but a faith."

"We honor the past not by repeating it, but by learning from it and transcending it."

"The pursuit of knowledge is the highest form of freedom."

"Intellect without integrity is mere cleverness; integrity without intellect is mere stubbornness."

"The best education teaches not what to think, but how to think critically."

"Reality is the final arbiter of all claims to knowledge."

"Progress in understanding requires the death of certainty."

"The universe is indifferent to our wishes, but responsive to our questions."

"Great science begins with great doubt."

"To be truly rational is to embrace uncertainty while seeking truth."

"The historian of science must be a detective of human folly as much as human genius."

"Every answer is temporary; every solution is provisional."

"The mark of a mature mind is the ability to hold two contradictory ideas and continue thinking."
