The underlying assumption that human nature is basically the same at all times, everywhere, and obeys eternal laws beyond human control, is a conception that only a handful of bold thinkers have dared to question (Isaiah Berlin Quotes)

Few new truths have ever won their way against the resistance of established ideas save by being overstated (Isaiah Berlin Quotes)
All forms of tampering with human beings, getting at them, shaping them against their will to your own pattern, all thought control and conditioning is, therefore, a denial of that in men which makes them men and their values ultimate (Isaiah Berlin Quotes)
