"I know that most men -- not only those considered clever, but even
those who are clever, and capable of understanding the most difficult
scientific, mathematical, or philosophical problems -- can seldom
discern even the simplest and most obvious truths if it be such as
obliges them to admit the falsity of conclusions they have formed,
perhaps with much difficulty -- conclusions of which they are proud,
which they have taught to others, and on which they have built their
lives."
Leo Tolstoy (1898)
"Restore the real meaning of words, to live in truth."
Vaclav Havel (1989)
It might help the tone of our discussions as we wrestle with the many
difficult topics in sustainable agriculture, if we keep these quotes
in mind...
