“Il n'est jamais trop tard pour renoncer à vos préjugés.”Walden ou la vie dans les bois
En anglais : "It is never too late to give up our prejudices. No way of thinking or doing, however ancient, can be trusted without proof. What everybody echoes or in silence passes by as true today may turn out to be falsehood tomorrow, mere smoke of opinion, which some had trusted for a cloud that would sprinkle fertilizing rain on their fields."
