#Maimonides

“By day he codified the entirety of Jewish law; by night he wrote philosophy's most famous book for the "perplexed" — and within thirty years of his death, Jews were denouncing it to the Inquisition's bonfires.”

“Reason and revelation cannot truly contradict each other — and a believer who knows both science and scripture doesn't need comforting, but therapy for the mind: careful rereading until the conflict dissolves.”
