“We are in the position of a little child, entering a huge library whose walls are covered to the ceiling with books in many different tongues.

We see a universe marvelously arranged, obeying certain laws, but we understand the laws only dimly. Our limited minds cannot grasp the mysterious force that sways the constellations.”
