La pensée ne doit jamais se soumettre, ni à un dogme, ni à un parti, ni à une passion, ni à un intérêt, ni à une idée préconçue, ni à quoi que ce soit, si ce n'est aux faits eux-mêmes, parce que, pour elle, se soumettre, ce serait cesser d'être.Or translated into English.
Reason must always depend on facts and must never be oppressed, not by a dogma, not by a political party, not by a passion, not by a special interest, not by a biased conviction, not by anything else, because any form of oppression makes reason disappear as a whole.Jules Henri Poincaré (1854 – 1912) was one of France's greatest mathematicians and theoretical physicists, and a philosopher of science. Known as polymath and as the "Last Universalist", he excelled in all fields of mathematics as existed during his lifetime.
