As time passes and the more advanced science becomes, the more interesting it becomes.

We do not consider our principles as dogmas contained in books that are said to come from heaven. We derive our inspiration, not from heaven, or from an unseen world, but directly from life.

Philosophy begins when you don't know where to look for an answer.
