“Science investigates, religion interprets. Science gives man knowledge which is power, religion gives man wisdom which is control. Science deals mainly with facts, religion deals with values. The two are not rivals. They are complementary. Science keeps religion from sinking into the valley of crippling irrationalism and paralysing obscurantism. Religion prevents science from falling into the marsh of obsolete materialism and moral nihilism.”
― Martin Luther King Jr., Strength to Love

“Theory is important to those of us who are struggling to transform society because it offers distilled experience so we don't have to repeat mistakes.

A scientific materialist view of theory and history gives working and oppressed peoples a roadmap to find the path toward liberation.”
― Leslie Feinberg, Trans Liberation: Beyond Pink or Blue
