"Morality and truth! The two most relentless divinities!"
From Olaf Stapledon, Sirius
The context of this quote is especially important. Sirius, a super-intelligent canine, is the target of both religious fanatics and eager scientists. Morality is both fascinated by, and condemns him. Science wants to study him to death to establish truths.
If you like stories about animals or psychology or "uplifting" or searching for self between science and religion ... read this. This one will stick with me for a while.
