My present and most fixed opinion regarding the nature of alcoholic fermentation is this: The chemical act of fermentation is essentially a phenomenon correlative with a vital act, beginning and ending with the latter. I believe that there is never any alcoholic fermentation without their being simultaneously the organization, development, multiplication of the globules, or the pursued, continued life of globules which are already formed.

The greatest disorder of the mind is to let will direct it.

Analogy cannot serve as proof.

Do not let yourself be tainted with a barren skepticism.
