Hypatia — "The only way to wisdom is through fearless questioning."

"Reserve your right to think, for even to think wrongly is better than not to think at all."

"Men will fight for superstition as quickly as for the living truth—even more so, since superstition is intangible and cannot be reached."

"Fables should be taught as fables, myths as myths, and miracles as poetic fancies. To teach superstitions as truths is a most terrible thing."

"To rule by fettering the mind through fear of punishment in another world is just as base as to use force."

"Fables should be taught as fables, myths as myths, and miracles as poetic fancies."
