"Since the end of the Cold War, the international community has on numerous occasions pondered or carried out armed interventions within sovereign states to address humanitarian contingencies such as genocide or severe civil conflicts. Despite good intentions, interstate interventions rarely succeed in establishing permanent solutions to conflicts and humanitarian crisis within states (see Weiss, 1999; Weiss and Collins, 2000; Regan, 2000)." (Gizelis and Kosek, here)

"The worst possible thing is to imagine that we know when we
do not know: it is far better to confess ignorance than to pretend to false
knowledge. And there is little doubt
that on some important points, at any rate, we are still groping in the
dark. But if we all admit this, there is
some chance that together we may find a road to the light." John Wilson, Language & The Pursuit of Truth (p.74)
"without a good deal of questioning, we shall not be able
to discover truth: and without discovering truth, there can be no real
progress." (p.103)
"It does not require outstanding intelligence: it requires
only patience and the desire to learn.
The results come with surprising speed. Let us at least try it, and see
what happens." (p.105)
