Richard Feynman

There is no authority who decides what is a good idea. .We have lost the need to go to an authority to find out whethere an idea is true or not. We can read an authority and let him suggest something; we can try it out and find out if it is true or not. If it is not true, so much the worse - so the "authorities" lose some of their "authority."

Richard Feynman, 'The Uncertainty of Science', The Meaning Of It All: Thoughts of a Citizen-Scientist (April, 1963)
