"Psychology more than any other science has had its pseudo-scientific no less than its scientific period."

The trouble with the professor of the prehistoric is that he cannot scrap his scrap. The marvellous and triumphant aeroplane is made out of a hundred mistakes. The student of origins can only make one mistake and stick to it."
"It has always been science versus fundamentalism, not science versus religion."
