Whenever someone contemplates reality in pure pursuit of knowledge and without regard for immediate practical purposes;
Whenever someone, oblivious of possible usefulness, disadvantages, danger, or even death, is able to say,
“So it is; this is the truth!”
(e.g. “The Emperor has no clothes!”)—
Then we witness, in an eminent degree, human freedom in action.
Josef Pieper, Knowledge and Freedom
