 "The farther the experiment is from theory, the closer it is to the Nobel
  Prize."  - Joliet-Curie


And here's another one that could pertain to BL:

 "There is a principle which is a bar against all information, which
  cannot fail to keep a man in everlasting ignorance--that principle is
  contempt prior to investigation." - Herbert Spencer, British philosopher

...it's not a matter of belief or disbelief, instead it's a matter of
contempt, of sneering hostility.
