Every noble action is selfish. Some selfish actions are nobler than others. But they are all selfish. And as such there can be no action purely noble anyway. Even the nobility in God's great philosophical intentions is bounded by his vanity.

I'm the only man; I'm the only philosopher.

Most of the history is a divine work of fiction.

The goal of science is to understand the fundamental reality and the goal of technology is to change that reality.

History is an orphan. It can speak, but cannot hear. It can give, but cannot take. Its wounds and tragedies can be read and known, but cannot be avoided or cured.

The history of science is the saga of nature defying common sense.

The will of man is the will of God.
