Leo Nikolaevich Tolstoi Quote

Quote from Leo Nikolaevich Tolstoi,

"Freethinkers are those who are willing to use their minds without prejudice and without fearing to understand things that clash with their customs, privileges, or beliefs. This state of mind is not common, but it is essential for right thinking; where it is absent, discussion is apt to become worse than useless."
