Henry James
I do not know by what extraordinary mental accident modern writers so constantly connect the idea of progress with the idea of independent thinking. Gilbert K. Chesterton

There can be no progress without head-on confrontation. Christopher Hitchens
Without man and his potential for moral progress, the whole of reality would be a mere wilderness, a thing in vain, and have no final purpose. Immanuel Kant
