…It is the fault of our science that it wants to explain all; and if it explain not, then it says there is nothing to explain.
Thinking is not a slow process; and when it is earnest the time can pass quickly.

Do you not think that there are things which you cannot understand, and yet which are; that some people see things that others cannot? But there are things old and new which must not be contemplate by men´s eyes, because they know -or think they know- some things which other men have told them. Ah, it is the fault of our science that it wants to explain all; and if it explain not, then it says there is nothing to explain.
