Wikiquote:Quote of the day/July 1, 2015



 

Experiment and reflection enable us to introduce a significance into what is not legible, either to us or at all … the gradation we establish in the order of creatures: all this is not in the things but in us. In general we cannot remember too often that when we observe nature, and especially the ordering of nature, it is always ourselves alone we are observing.

~ Georg Christoph Lichtenberg ~
