“Nature, deaf to our entreaties, will not alter or change the course of her effects; and those things that we are here trying to investigate have not just occurred once and then vanished, but have always proceeded and will always proceed in the same style. This should be a great restraint upon us, and ought to render us very circumspect about pronouncing on such things. We cannot take care that no passion - either toward others or ourselves - bends us away from our aim of pure truth.”
Galileo Galilei (1611)
