We have penetrated far less deeply into the regularities obtaining within the realm of living things, but deeply enough nevertheless to sense at least the rule of fixed necessity... what is still lacking here is a grasp of the connections of profound generality, but not a knowledge of order itself.

I like to think the moon is there even if I am not looking at it.
Albert Einstein
Image
There is no logical way to the discovery of these elemental laws. There is only the way of intuition, which is helped by a feeling for the order lying behind the appearance.

Nothing causes more consternation in a group of hypocrits than one honest man.
Albert Einstein
Image
The individual must not merely wait and criticize, he must defend the cause the best he can. The fate of the world will be such as the world deserves.
