Nor Must We Forget That In Science

Animals Are Good To Think With.

The Work Of The Painter, The Poet Or The Musician, Like The Myths And Symbols Of The Savage, Ought To Be Seen By Us, If Not As A Superior Form Of Knowledge, At Least As The Most Fundamental And The Only One Really Common To Us All; Scientific Thought Is Merely The Sharp Point More Penetrating Because It Has Been Whetted On The Stone Of Fact, But At The Cost Of Some Loss Of Substance And Its Effectiveness Is To Be Explained By Its Power To Pierce Sufficiently Deeply For The Main Body Of The Tool To Follow The Head.

For Everything Is History: What Was Said Yesterday Is History, What Was Said A Minute Ago Is History. But, Above All, One Is Led To Misjudge The Present, Because Only The Study Of Historical Development Permits The Weighing And Evaluation Of The Interrelationships Among The Components Of The Present-day Society.

Not All Poisonous Juices Are Burning Or Bitter Nor Is Everything Which Is Burning And Bitter Poisonous.

I Can't Help Thinking That Science Would Be More Appealing If It Had No Practical Use.
