I remember at an early period in my own life showing
to a man of high reputation as a teacher some matters
which I happened to have observed. And I was very much
struck and grieved to find that, while all the facts
lay equally clear before him, only those which squared
with his previous theories seemed to affect his organs
of vision.
-Joseph, Lord Lister (1827-1912),
who introduced antiseptic surgery
