Quote of the Day

[nyuanshin]

"Those who make the mistake of thinking in terms of a first cause are fated never to become men of science. . . . We shall never succeed in changing our age of iron into an age of gold until we give up our ambition to find a single cause for all our ills, and admit the existence of many causes acting simultaneously, of intricate correlations and reduplicated actions and reactions."
-- Aldous Huxley, Ends and Means (p. 14-15)
