“Every aspect of Nature reveals a deep mystery and touches our sense of wonder and awe.

They avoid rather than confront the world. But those with the courage to explore the weave and structure of the Cosmos, even where it differs profoundly from their wishes and prejudices, will penetrate its deepest mysteries.”
