Thomas Paine
“ I have always strenuously supported the right of every man to his own opinion, however different that opinion might be to mine. He who denies to another this right, makes a slave of himself to his present opinion, because he precludes himself the right of changing it. ”
― Thomas Paine, The Age of Reason

Bertrand Russell
“ The opinions that are held with passion are always those for which no good ground exists; indeed the passion is the measure of the holders lack of rational conviction. Opinions in politics and religion are almost always held passionately. ”
― Bertrand Russell, Sceptical Essays
