“The enthusiasm of today’s youth is as pure and bright as it was in our time. Only one thing has happened: a shift of goals, the replacement of one beauty with another! The entire misunderstanding lies merely in the question of which is more beautiful: Shakespeare or a pair of boots, Raphael or petroleum?”
Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Demons

Thomas S. Kuhn
“Truth emerges more readily from error than from confusion.”
Thomas S. Kuhn, The Structure of Scientific Revolutions
