The Prajna Sutra (2007)

“Can any good come out of Nazareth?”
Ludwig Feuerbach (1804–1872) German philosopher and anthropologist
This is always the question of the wiseacres and the knowing ones. But the good, the new, comes from exactly that quarter whence it is not looked for, and is always something different from what is expected. Everything new is received with contempt, for it begins in obscurity. It becomes a power unobserved.
As quoted in "Voices of the New Time" as translated by C. C. Shackford in The Radical Vol. 7 (1870), p. 329
