"I have always been interested in the oddities of mankind. At one time I read a good deal of philosophy and a good deal of science, and I learned in that way that nothing was certain. Some people, by the pursuit of science, are impressed by the dignity of man, but I was only made conscious of his inconsequence. The greatest questions of all have been thrashed out since he aquired the beginnings of civilization and he is as far from the solution as ever. Man can know nothing, for his senses are his only means of knowledge, and they can give no certainty. There is only one subject upon which the individual can speak with authority, and that is his own mind, but even here he is surrounded with darkness."
