Quote #1 on Education Struggle Quotes >> Learning and Questioning
“It is therefore dangerous to suppose that what seems familiar to us is and must be true of all the universe in all its aspects. Thus, it is only "common sense" to suppose that the earth is flat and motionless and this argument was strenuously used to oppose the notion that the earth was spherical and in motion.”
