Essence Answers Subtle

More From Louis Pasteur

Science advances through tentative answers to a series of more and more subtle questions which reach deeper and deeper into the essence of natural phenomena.
Essence Answers Natural
But in the end, science does not provide the answers most of us require. its story of our origins and of our end is, to say the least, unsatisfactory. to the question, "how did it all begin?", science answers, "probably by an accident." to the question, "how will it all end?", science answers, "probably by an accident." and to many people, the accidental life is not worth living. moreover, the science-god has no answer to the question, "why are we here?" and, to the question, "what moral instructions do you give us?", the science-god maintains silence.
God People Giving
Science has to do with facts, art with phenomena. to science, phenomena are of use only as they lead to facts; and to art, facts are of use only as they lead to phenomena.

Needs Answers Might
Indeed, the only truly serious questions are ones that even a child can formulate. only the most naive of questions are truly serious. they are the questions with no answers. a question with no answer is a barrier that cannot be breached. in other words, it is questions with no answers that set the limit of human possibilities, describe the boundaries of human existence.

The endless cycle of idea and action, endless invention, endless experiment, brings knowledge of motion, but not of stillness; knowledge of speech, but not of silence; knowledge of words, and ignorance of the word. all our knowledge brings us nearer to our ignorance, all our ignorance brings us nearer to death, but nearness to death no nearer to god. where is the life we have lost in living? where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge? where is the knowledge we have lost in information? the cycles of heaven in twenty centuries bring us farther from god and nearer to the dust.

Both of our political parties, at least the honest portion of them, agree conscientiously in the same object: the public good; but they differ essentially in what they deem the means of promoting that good. one side believes it best done by one composition of the governing powers, the other by a different one. one fears most the ignorance of the people; the other the selfishness of rulers independent of them. which is right, time and experience will prove.
Party Believe Ignorance
People are supposed to fear the unknown, but ignorance is bliss when knowledge is so damn frightening.
