- "The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human
- mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance
- in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should
- voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto
- harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge
- will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position
- therein, that we shall either go mad from the relevation or flee from the
- deadly light into the peace and safety of a new dark age."
