A quote for today

"Those who devote themselves to the purpose of proving that there is no purpose, constitute an interesting subject for study."

Stanley Jaki, "The Science of Education and Education in Science" (PDF) in The Challenges for Science: Eduation for the Twenty-first Century (The Pontifical Academy of Sciences, 2002), p. 67.
