Science Does Not Permit Exceptions.

In Teaching Man, Experimental Science Results In Lessening His Pride More And More By Proving To Him Every Day That Primary Causes, Like The Objective Reality Of Things, Will Be Hidden From Him Forever And That He Can Only Know Relations.

The Fact That Knowledge Endlessly Recedes As The Investigator Is About To Grasp It Is What Constitutes At The Same Time His Torment And Happiness.

But While I Accept Specialization In The Practice, I Reject It Utterly In The Theory Of Science.

When We Meet A Fact Which Contradicts A Prevailing Theory, We Must Accept The Fact And Abandon The Theory, Even When The Theory Is Supported By Great Names And Generally Accepted.

A Fact In Itself Is Nothing. It Is Valuable Only For The Idea Attached To It, Or For The Proof Which It Furnishes.
