“The greatest flaw in the trait of fear of Heaven, when it is not properly joined to the light of Torah, is that instead of becoming fear of sin it turns into fear of thinking. Once a person begins to be afraid to think, he proceeds to sink into the mire of ignorance, which steals the light of his soul, weakens his strength, and darkens his spirit.” — R. A. I. Kook, Shemoneh Kevatzim, I §267
—
“Therefore, out of a love of inquiry and knowledge, one should not dismiss anything that opposes one’s view… Even if the words run counter to his faith and religion, one must not say to him, ‘Do not speak; shut your mouth,’ for if so there would be no clarification of the religion. On the contrary, in such a case we say: Speak as much as you wish… For concealing the words of one who opposes the religion is nothing but the nullification and weakening of the religion… Reason dictates that there be no prevention of this at all, nor should a person’s mouth be closed regarding matters that touch upon religion; rather, the text of the law is given to all… Through this a person comes to the very substance of truth and stands upon complete truth, and there is to be no shutting of such words. For any warrior who seeks to oppose another in order to show his strength greatly desires that the one who comes against him strengthen himself with all his might; then, if he defeats that warrior who sought to overpower him, it is seen that the victor is exceedingly mighty.” — Be’er HaGolah, Seventh Well, Maharal of Prague
