"Apa yang membuat seorang pemikir bebas bukanlah keyakinannya, tetapi cara dia memegangnya. Jika dia memegang mereka karena para penatua memberitahunya bahwa itu benar ketika dia masih muda, atau jika dia memegang mereka karena jika tidak dia akan merasa tidak bahagia, pikirannya tidak bebas; tetapi jika dia memegangnya karena, setelah berpikir dengan hati-hati, dia menemukan keseimbangan dalam kebaikan mereka, maka pikirannya bebas, betapapun aneh kesimpulannya tampaknya."

Versi Bahasa Inggris

What makes a free thinker is not his beliefs, but the way in which he holds them. If he holds them because his elders told him they were true when he was young, or if he holds them because if he did not he would be unhappy, his thought is not free; but if he holds them because, after careful thought, he finds a balance in their favor, then his thought is free, however odd his conclusions may seem.
