From his novel I am currently rereading, "Friday", some words of wisdom from the late Robert A. Heinlein:
"One may bask at the warm fire of faith or choose to live in the bleak uncertainty of reason-but one cannot have both."
" 'When I was younger, I thought I could change this world. Now I no longer think so but for emotional reasons I must keep fighting a holding action.' "
" In this case, the trouble with 'the people's right to know' is that it strongly resembles the 'right' of someone to be a concert pianist-but who does not want to practice. "
