1. John Milton:

   A man may be a heretic in the truth; and if he believe things only because his pastor says so, or the assembly so determines, without knowing other reason, though his belief be true, yet the very truth he holds becomes his heresy.

2. Chaim Fishman:

   I was getting into trouble for asking questions, we don’t talk with anyone; we believe once we start talking to other people, we will assimilate to their ways and lose our traditions. It’s heresy.

3. Christen Kuikoua:

   In the name of acceptance, abominations embraced, What was unholy now applauded and praised. Same-sex unions paraded in false equity, A mockery of God's plan, a blatant heresy

4. Elie Wiesel:

   The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference. The opposite of art is not ugliness, it's indifference. The opposite of faith is not heresy, it's indifference. And the opposite of life is not death, it's indifference.

5. Bret Stephens:

   Good journalism, like good science, should follow evidence, not narratives. It should pay as much heed to intelligent gadflies as it does to eminent authorities. And it should never treat honest disagreement as moral heresy, anyone wondering why so many people have become so hostile to the pronouncements of public-health officials and science journalists should draw the appropriate conclusion from this story. When lecturing the public about the dangers of misinformation, it’s best not to peddle it yourself.
