It was the German philosopher, Arthur Schopenhauer, who once said that all truth goes through three stages: first, it is ridiculed; then it is violently opposed; and then if it is truth, it is accepted as self-evident.
Le philosophe allemand Arthur Schopenhauer a dit un jour que toute vérité franchit un processus en trois étapes: premièrement, on la ridiculise; ensuite, on s'y oppose violemment; enfin, si c'est bien la vérité, on l'accepte comme allant de soi.
