Daniel of Morley

“Let no one be shocked if, with reference to the creation of the world, I should invoke the testimony of pagan philosophers rather than the church fathers…. Let us then borrow from them and, with God’s help and command, rob the pagan philosophers of their wisdom and eloquence. Let us take from the unfaithful so as to enrich ourselves faithfully with the spoils.”
