Believe it, my good friend, to love truth for truth's sake is the principal part of human perfection in the world, and the seed-plot of all other virtues; and if I mistake not, you have as much of it as I ever met with in anybody.
-- Anthony Collins, in a letter to John Locke (1703), quoted from Jim Herrick, Against the Faith (1985), p. 52
