“Creating a new theory is not like destroying an old barn and erecting a skyscraper in its place. It is rather like climbing a mountain, gaining new and wider views, discovering unexpected connections between our starting points and its rich environment.

Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death.”
