Here's one for ya, Jois:
"I assert that a man has no reason to be ashamed of having an ape
for his grandfather. If there were an ancestor whom I should feel
shame in recalling, it would rather be a man, a man of restless and
versatile intellect who, not content with a success in his own sphere
of activity, plunged into scientific questions with which he has no real
acquaintance, only to obscure them by an aimless rhetoric, and distract
the attention of his hearers from the real point at issue by eloquent
digressions and skilled appeals to religious prejudice." --Thomas Huxley
Ring any bells for ya?
