Every organism requires an environment of friends, partly to shield it from violent changes, and partly to supply it with its wants.
Alfred North WhiteheadThe aim of science is to seek the simplest explanation of complex facts. We are apt to fall into the error of thinking that the facts are simple because simplicity is the goal of our quest. The guiding motto in the life of every natural philosopher should be ``Seek simplicity and distrust it.''
Alfred North Whitehead
