Sir Karl Popper Quote

Quote from Sir Karl Popper,

"There is an almost universal tendency, perhaps an inborn tendency,
to suspect the good faith of a man who holds opinions that differ from our own opinions...
It obviously endangers the freedom and the objectivity of our discussion
if we attack a person instead of attacking an opinion or, more precisely, a theory."
