knowledge, absolutely sure of its infallibility, is faith - Yevgeny Zamyatin, We

"It is said there are flowers that bloom only once in a hundred years. Why should there not be some that bloom once in a thousand, in ten thousand years? Perhaps we never know about them simply because this "once in a thousand years"has come today."

"knowledge, absolutely sure of its infallibility, is faith"

"You are afraid of it because it is stronger than you; you hate it because you are afraid of it; you love it because you cannot subdue it to your will. Only the unsubduable can be loved."

"knowledge, absolutely sure of its infallibility, is faith"

"A man is like a novel: until the very last page you don't know how it will end. Otherwise it wouldn't be worth reading."
