Nothing is so awesomely unfamiliar as the familiar that discloses itself at the end of a journey. — Cynthia Ozick. American writer (born 1928)
I'm not afraid of facts, I welcome facts but a congeries of facts is not equivalent to an idea. This is the essential fallacy of the so-called "scientific" mind. People who mistake facts for ideas are incomplete thinkers; they are gossips.
