Wonderful stuff. You can argue it interminably. But it can't be contradicted, because nobody knows the answer to any of these topics."
"For it is owing to their wonder that men both now begin and at first began to philosophize."
"One of the greatest tragedies I can think of is for a person to die having never fully questioned the life he was born into."
"People seize to investigate the truth when things are been repeated constantly."
