Quote of the day...

[pat]

"Real fantasy is that a man with a printing press might defy an entire government because of some half-formed belief that there may be such a thing as the truth. "

Terry Pratchett, from a speech he gave in accepting a CILIP award for The Amazing Maurice and HIs Educated Rodents.

Great quote, and very apt to my thinking at the moment (I'm reading up on the history and philosophy of science, which these days does boil down to "is there any such thing as truth?").
